Trash‑Talk Escalates Between Petrovic and DeMoor Before June 6 Leverkusen Bout

The dispute raises questions about fight contract terms and the ethics of using AI to target private figures.

Overview

  • The match between Aleks Petrovic and Chase DeMoor is scheduled for June 6 at the Ostermann‑Arena in Leverkusen as part of Fame Fighting International.
  • DeMoor did not appear for a BILD‑organized virtual face‑off on Friday, May 29, prompting Petrovic to call him 'fake' and accuse him of being afraid.
  • In videos posted on May 30–31, DeMoor said he was on a flight to New York during the face‑off and accused Petrovic of refusing his proposed conditions of ten 3‑minute rounds and 10‑ounce gloves.
  • DeMoor has used AI‑generated clips and images to mock Petrovic and his ex‑partner, including a doctored photo of Petrovic and his trainer and an animated clip featuring Vanessa Nwattu, which has intensified personal attacks.
  • The feud highlights how influencer boxing trades on personal conflict and raises tangible concerns about fighter safety over rounds and glove weight plus reputational harm from synthetic media and past abuse allegations.
