‘Feralspunky’ is ready to rumble in EFC 127
The EFC fighter is focused, fired up and ready to fight.
Godfrey ‘Feralspunky’ Mkhwanazi, the fierce fighter from Parkrand, is preparing to go toe-to-toe with Roevan de Beer in an EFC 127 catchweight bout at the WSB EFC Arena on September 11.
Mkhwanazi says his training is on track and that he is focused on the task ahead.
“Everything is going according to plan. I’m sticking to the game plan and putting in the hours,” he shared.
Asked about his message to his opponent, ‘Feralspunky’ remains unfazed. “I’m not concerned about him- my focus is on myself. This fight is a stepping stone towards my bigger goal: bringing the belt back.”
In July, the Boksburg Advertiser reported Mkhwanazi defeated Warren ‘The Wolverine’ Richards via TKO (strikes) at 4:29 in the second round of their bantamweight bout.
Come fight night, Mkhwanazi will be looking to make a statement and take another important step towards glory.
