EFC 44 returns to Carnival City’s Big Top Arena, with the biggest foreign invasion in history! Three championship fights go down this Saturday, October 3.
In the heavyweight division and in what EFC pundits are calling the heavyweight matchup of the century, South African champion Andrew van Zyl collides with the Frenchman Cyril Asker in a five-round championship battle. The fate of seemingly similar fighters from contrasting backgrounds will intercept and only one will stand victorious.
The dominant South African, Boyd Allen, puts his featherweight belt on the line against Scotland’s Daniel Henry in what is sure to be a technical war.
But first, the man from Zimbabwe, Themba Gorimbo, who came from nothing and has risen to stardom, faces his nemesis and perhaps the most dangerous striker in the organisation, the lightweight champion Leon Mynhardt. Undefeated in competition, and driven by a raw desire to survive, The Answer will stop at nothing when he faces the brute power, skill and experience of Pretoria’s favourite son, the Iron Lion.
In the exciting women’s division, and all the way from Italy the former amateur world champion, Micol Di Segni, will challenge South Africa’s Danella Eliasov.
During an extended break between the EFC prelim bouts and the main five headline fights, fans can watch the rugby game between South Africa and Scotland at Carnival City’s purpose-built Rugby Fan Park.
