'He will dance to Malwedhe'
Jeremiah 'Low-Key' Nakathila has promised to pull a King Monada on his South African opponent later this month.
World Boxing Organisation (WBO) Africa lightweight champion Jeremiah 'Low-Key' Nakathila promises a thrilling clash when he steps into the ring with Prince 'The Demon' Dlomo to defend his title on 28 December inside the Castle of Good Hope in Cape Town, South Africa.
Nakathila said his South African opponent will dance to King Monada's smash hit Malwedhe. The song is popular with listeners, who fall to the ground in a state of euphoria, when dancing to the track.
Nakathila, ranked third in the world by the WBO, was initially to have fought Toto Helebe, who was supposed to have made his debut in the super featherweight division.
However, the fight could not take place due to unforeseen circumstances, and Dlomo has stepped in as Nakathila's new opponent.
“Well it is a pity that I cannot fight Helebe anymore but I'm ready to fight anyone and I know how important this fight is for me, in terms of getting me closer to my world title dream.
“I will therefore go out there and do my best and defend my title successfully for the fifth consecutive time,” said Nakathila.
“I'm ready for him. My plan is to make him dizzy and to knock him out. This is my birthday month and I'm just full of energy.”
Nakathila is the hot favourite to retain his title, as he boasts an impressive record of 17 fights, 16 wins and only one controversial loss against Evgeny Chuprakov from Russia. Dlomo has a record of 18 fights, 10 wins, seven losses and a draw.
“This fight is important for Nakathila because he is now rated number three in the world, and two days after his title defence the world champion in this division will defend his title against the highest-rated opponent Evgeny Chuprakov from Russia.
“This means that Nakathila has to keep on fighting and winning in order to take either the mandatory or number-two ranking. Anything can happen when you enjoy such a rating. This boy is definitely our next world champion and one of our objectives is to get him in the ring for a world title shot in 2019,” said promoter Nestor Tobias from the MTC Nestor Sunshine Tobias Boxing and Fitness Academy.
