Boxing veteran Johnny “The Hurricane” Muller’s return to the ring was short-lived on May 16.
The 35-year-old Roodepoort boxer, who hasn’t fought since his previous loss in October 2023 against Kem Ljungquist in Naestved, was hoping to revive his career with this performance at Emperor’s Palace, but it was not to be.

The younger, hungrier and more brutal Jose Kadima wasted no time and got right down to business, knocking him out in the first round of their heavyweight contest on the undercard of the “One Way To Redemption” Box and Dine tournament.

The hard-hitting Congolese-born Kadima, who now boxes out of Overport in KZN, was ruthless, sending him to the canvas twice shortly after the opening bell.
The writing was on the wall, and Kadima quickly knocked Muller against the ropes for the count before the end of the first round.
