Johannesburg (South Africa) – It’s striker vs. striker as Africa’s hardest hitting middleweights go toe to toe at EFC AFRICA 22. Crowd favorite and undefeated JP Kruger takes on heavy handed Tumelo Maphutha while Frederich ‘The Ninja’ Naumann, the continent’s fastest rising star, tests himself against brutal former welterweight champion Dallas Jakobi.

Kruger is a multiple kickboxing champion with four straight wins in the Hexagon. After his massive victory over Donavin Hawkey Kruger’s fans have been calling for a shot at Jeremy Smith for the middleweight title. Maphutha, a renowned knockout specialist, owns the record for the fastest KO in African MMA history. ‘Soldierboy’ wouldn’t stand with him and he claims that no one else will either. Will this be Kruger’s last fight before he reaches EFC AFRICA gold, or will Maphutha call a halt to his climb to the top?
