Legendary sports radio presenter and broadcaster Robert Marawa still makes the trends list from his show even though he is no longer with the biggest commercial station in the country. The Marawa Sports Worldwide show presenter had Cassper Nyovest as a studio guest last night on his show which simulcasts on radio stations Vuma and Rise FM, and TimesLives digital radio.
This interview comes ahead of the rapper’s much anticipated Celebrity Boxing Exhibition where he’ll go against musician and actor Naak Musiq. This fight will take place this weekend, the 9th of April at 9 PM, at the Sun City Bowl and Robert Marawa asked all the necessary questions everyone has on their mind regarding this fight.
Cassper began by encouraging and reminding his fans out there to set reminders for 5 PM on Saturday, and that there are only 20 tickets left for the boxing match that will be broadcast live on Supersports channel 209. He added that viewers and fans were awarded an opportunity to place their bets on who they think will win courtesy of Hollywood Bets.
Lethu Dembe, Media specialist at Hollywood Bets also announced on Marawa Sports Worldwide that the company is the official betting sponsor for this fight. He added, "This might look like a South African event for now but it's the kind of innovation we want to take to the world. We are happy to be able to partner with all involved." He, furthermore, urged fans and boxing viewers to start interacting with the brand and to place their bets — betting is currently live right now until Saturday.
This is going to be a 4 rounds boxing match with both stars going head to head and Cassper says that he wants it to be at least 6 to 8 rounds.
Cassper has been called a marketing genius for going ahead with this newly found boxing career. He started out with his successful boxing match against YouTuber Slikk Talk which he won, and now in his sophomore fight against Naak Musiq, he continues to sound confident about his boxing skills and assures listeners and fans that he will win. He said that “There are always purists when it comes to boxing. There are not enough people to bother me in terms of criticism. I have gotten much support, especially from boxers themselves.”
Cassper also mentioned that he’s been getting all the necessary training to get him ready from boxing professions and has been following a strict diet. “I was surrounded by 6-7 coaches. I learned about nutrition and training, the science, and supplements. I've been losing weight by just drinking water" he told Robert.
He also said that this fight with Naak Musiq is just a preparation for a fight he actually wants, which is one against his main rival AKA. “My first choices were AKA and Prince Kaybee.” Additionally, Cassper says that AKA is the one running away from this fight because he is scared and a fan of him.
He touched on the reason why he has since banned podcasters Mac G and Sol Phenduka from attending the event, telling Marawa that the duo often cross the line with the content in their podcast. “They started talking about my family. There should be boundaries.” Said the rapper.
In closing, Cassper mentioned that he looks up to boxing legends such as Mike Tyson and that this is not just another hobby to him but something he would like to pursue further. He sees himself turning boxing into a business and expanding it across the country.
