Johannesburg (South Africa) – Locked stares and tension at the EFC AFRICA 16 weigh-in filled the Mardi Gras Theatre at Carnival City on 18 October. Judging by the weigh-in face-offs, the action will be explosive when the live event kicks off tomorrow at 17:40. The Big Top Arena at Carnival City can prepare for a massive rumble!
The featherweight champ, Demarte Pena, and his opponent Terrence Griessel exchanged more than a few wild glares and shoves. Expect fireworks when these two top class athletes step into the hexagon tomorrow night.
Dain Neveling weighed in at 2.25 kgs over the required weight. He has been financially penalised and both camps have agreed to fight. Khalil Akleker was 70 g over the required weight and an agreement has been reached by both camps.
