According to BBC Sport, the contentious British-American social media personality Andrew Tate is not interested in signing up for a Misfits Boxing card.
Following reports that claimed Tate was in advanced talks about a potential fight with the Misfits at a later date this year, the reports claim.
Uncrowned, a source close to the combat sports media, reported that a boxing match could be on a “serious stage” and that a decision could be made on Saturday’s Misfits show.
No talks are taking place and no announcement is scheduled for this weekend, according to sources close to DAZN, the broadcaster of Misfits Boxing, according to BBC Sport.
Tate, 38, is fighting against a number of serious legal issues in the world, some of which he and his brother Tristan are accused of having.
Tate is suing four British women over sexual assault allegations, including that he repeatedly grabbed one of the women by the throat in 2015, he pointed a gun in her face, and assaulted her with a belt.
Tate has previously called the allegations “pack of lies” and “gross fabrications” in a written defense that was submitted to the High Court.
The brothers are facing rape allegations in Romania, along with allegations of rape against Andrew Tate and human trafficking, as well as money laundering.
In Florida, Florida, there is also a criminal investigation underway.

He recently received a warm welcome from close ally Dana White, a Donald Trump ally, at UFC 313 and a Power Slap event in the US in March.
Tate, a four-time world champion in kickboxing, gained notoriety through his online presence, winning three titles with ISKA and one with Dutch promotion Enfusion.
