Second fight set for Sawyer

Benoni fighter Gareth Sawyer will battle it out in his second professional fight in the middleweight division, against Durban boy Jason Culverwell, at the Durban International Convention Centre (ICC), on August 30, at EFC Africa 33.

Sawyer believes that he is the underdog in the fight against Culverwell, in his home city, but said he has been training hard and is ready to claim victory.

His opponent has fought in seven previous EFC fights and has a record of three wins and four defeats.

The former Benoni High School pupil started his EFC Africa journey in March, at EFC Africa 28, at the Coca-Cola Dome, with an impressive defeat over Pupanga Tresor, via a TKO two minutes and 28 seconds into round one.
