Van Zyl was originally scheduled to fight Lance Ceronio, but he was forced to withdraw after an injury ruled him out.
Van Zyl, though, is not disturbed by the change and expects a good fight against Moyo.
“It’s pretty exciting,” said Van Zyl.
““I’ve sparred with the ‘White Buffalo’ Francois Botha before, as well as some other top boxers. It’s a different challenge.
“Of course Moyo’s going to have clean KO power going all the time.”
Van Zyl originally stated that he was looking forward to testing his chin and playing a more expansive game against Ceronio, but with Moyo as his opponent, he’s taking a different approach.
“I’m taking that statement back,” added Van Zyl.
“You can’t jump straight into the deep end with someone like that.
“He’s hesitant, he stays back, waiting with his right hand cocked.
“He’s a big guy and he hasn’t been physically tested yet. If I work him up against the fence, he’s going to get tired.
“Moyo’s dangerous, but there are ways around that. I’ll be keeping things very tight.”
“The pressure’s on me, here. Elvis probably only needs one good punch to end it, which means I won’t be making any mistakes.
“It’s up to me to set the tone of this fight, and take it where I want it.”
