Phumlani Njilo has set tongues wagging after beating rapper Big Zulu – real name Siyabonga Nene – during their boxing match at the Durban Olive Convention Centre on Saturday, 9 December.

 

‘GIANT SLAYER’
The Mal’ Eningi hitmaker was confident coming into the match – dubbed “Impi: The War”. The musician’s confidence was fuelled by his win in April against Brian Dings, who has experience in the boxing industry and is popularly known for his stint as a bodyguard on Moja Love’s reality show Uyajola 9/9.

However, speaking to TshisaLIVE days before the fight, Njilo said he’d easily win against the hip hop artist.

“I’m training hard, sometimes twice a day. I’m way faster than Big Zulu. I also have way more stamina than him which is [to] my advantage. He won’t last four rounds in the ring. Big Zulu is going down in the third round.”

Indeed, Njilo came out victorious.

“GIANT SLAYER🤺 All the glory belongs to my Lord and savior Jesus Christ 🙌🏿❤️“Sweet science of boxing,” he wrote on Instagram.
