When reached for comment on his challenger he calmly stated, “He is a powerful, explosive fighter and not someone to take lightly, but I don’t believe he has the skill to beat me.”
In the hexagon, ‘Champion’ Dalcha Lungiambula is pure talent and aggression.
With only one blemish on his outstanding record, Dalcha has smashed his way through the competition in devastating fashion.
He entered his bouts against Europe’s Bahati, Baudot and Austin as the underdog, and walked away victorious from them all.
A man of few words, Dalcha now has a simple message to the world: “Andrew van Zyl must fall”.
The co-headlining fight of the night for EFC flyweight gold between Zulu and Masunyane has been in the limelight since its announcement, with fans clamouring with excitement.
“Individually these are two of the most entertaining and dynamic athletes this country has to offer,” stated Graeme Cartmell, EFC vice-president of talent.
“With gold on the line, this fight has evolved into something that is beyond massive.”
All this takes place at the head of a star-powered main card with the preliminary card to be revealed soon.
