Coxen is well known as a good fighter and known for his match against Conrad Seabi.

“I have shared the ring with Wade Henderson among others. I started as a boxer and it has been eight years since I have turned pro in EFC,” said Coxen.

“I started boxing when I was seven years old. I have enjoyed eight wins and 11 losses in the EFC ring,” he said.

“MMA is a different sport compared to boxing. I still want my rematch against Seabi because I lost in on a split decision.”

Three of Coxen’s students will compete in the 2022 IMMAF Youth World Championships in Abu Dhabi, UAE. The students are Kiara Willemse, Vaughn Pretorious, and Louis van Collor.
