What was supposed to be a routine promotional interview for Misfits Boxing 22 erupted into absolute chaos when heavyweight boxer Chase DeMoor found himself on the receiving end of an unexpected breakfast item.
During a face-to-face sit-down with his opponent Natan MarcoÅ„ ahead of their scheduled heavyweight title bout, the Polish boxer decided to make a memorable impression by launching an egg directly at DeMoor’s face. The incident has since gone viral across social media platforms.
The provocation worked exactly as intended. DeMoor’s reaction was instantaneous. Covered in egg residue, he flipped the interview table in front of him before attempting to charge at his opponent. What followed was a remarkable scene that required six security personnel to contain the situation. Two guards quickly moved to shield MarcoÅ„ while four others worked frantically to restrain the enraged DeMoor.
“You forget your eggs, so I give you one,” MarcoÅ„ quipped coolly as security scrambled around him, displaying the kind of calculated antagonism that has become increasingly common in modern combat sports promotion.
The restraint effort proved more challenging than anyone anticipated. DeMoor’s fury didn’t subside quickly, and he managed to pull one security guard’s shirt over the man’s face, temporarily blinding him during the scuffle. The chaos lasted over two minutes, with DeMoor continuing his attempts to break free even after MarcoÅ„ had been safely escorted from the room.
During the extended melee, DeMoor’s threats became increasingly specific and personal. “I swear I’m gonna chill all four of you,” he warned the security team holding him back. His anger wasn’t limited to his opponent or the guards. He even turned on the interviewer, accusing him of orchestrating the egg attack. “Ollie, you’re getting f**ked up, too,” he declared, convinced the incident was a setup.
Even when security finally released him, DeMoor’s night wasn’t over. Another altercation broke out with a different guard as he attempted to leave the venue, suggesting his rage hadn’t cooled despite the passage of time.
The egg-throwing tactic isn’t entirely without precedent in boxing promotion. Earlier this year, Chris Eubank Jr. made headlines for a similar stunt when he slapped Conor Benn with an egg, though that incident resulted in a substantial financial penalty for the perpetrator.
Hours after the incident, DeMoor took to social media to announce his withdrawal from the event entirely. “Drawing the line there. I’m done with this s**t, I’m officially pulling out of this fight. Enjoy,” he posted, effectively ending what had been building as one of the more anticipated bouts on the Misfits Boxing 22 card.
The event, scheduled for Manchester, England, was already generating significant interest with its main event featuring former UFC stars Darren Till and Luke Rockhold. The card also includes UFC legend Tony Ferguson making his boxing debut against Salt Papi in the co-main event.
