Johannesburg (South Africa) – At EFC AFRICA 19, this Friday, Wesley ‘Young Assasin’ Hawkey will face DRC national Alain ‘Commander’ Ilunga in a highly anticipated prelim bout. For both fighters this is a serious shot at title contention, for both a serious risk of falling backward down the ranks.

“I won my last fight because I trained hard,” says Illunga. “For this fight I’ve trained even harder. I am going to knock him out.”

With both fighters being hugely respected strikers, fans can expect an all-out, standing war.
