Cassper Nyovest pioneered the culture of celebrity boxing matches in South Africa. This is as the idea was popular in America, and seeing the potential to make money out the idea, Cassper introduced it to the South African market in 2022.
His first match was with NaakMusiQ which he lost despite his own assertions. The second match was with him and rapper Priddy Ugly, which he won. As such, Cassper had bragging rights and seemingly was not interested in getting back into the ring any time soon.
But one of the most persistent ZAlebs who wanted to see themselves fighting with Cassper was Big Zulu. However, time and time again, Cassper seemed to blue tick Big Zulu’s taunts and requests. As such, Big Zulu pioneered his own boxing match event. As reported:
Taking to his social media recently, Big Zulu shared the poster for his upcoming first-ever celebrity boxing match. The event is set to take place on Sunday, 23 April 2023. The event is called Seconds Out: Clash of the Chiefs and is touted as a white-collar boxing event.
At the time of announcing his own celebrity boxing match event, Big Zulu had not found a contender to get into the ring with him. But it seems that he has and is gearing up for the upcoming match.
Taking to Twitter recently, Big Zulu finally revealed who he was set to get into the ring with for the upcoming celebrity boxing match. The poster he shared revealed that he would be fighting again a boxer called Brian. A relatively unknown boxer given the comments shared in the comments section of the post.
Seemingly, Cassper shared the same sentiments as he took to Twitter to make it clear that despite not knowing who Brian is, he still wants him to win over Big Zulu. Clearly, Cassper is still touched the Big Zulu “copied” his idea and is going to make money from it.
I got my money on the other guy. I don’t even know him but he’s gonna kick your ass!!! https://t.co/xCffZHM29P
Interestingly, Big Zulu has his hands already full considering his latest joint venture with fellow musician and Bergville native Sjava. As reported:
Fans of two of South Africa’s heavyweight entertainers Sjava and Big Zulu are in for a treat as the pair announced a joint project as ‘Inkabi Zezwe’ single slated for 24 March and an album in May with Warner Music Africa (WMA).
Inkabi Zezwe - an isiZulu term of endearment that, when used in the context of music, describes a unified brotherhood that is representative and reflective of the nation. Zezwe means 'of the Nation', simply put, Sjava & Big Zulu are two giants who have united for this once-off collaboration as an offering to the nation. The duo is set to release the first single titled ‘Umbayimbayi’.
