Johannesburg, South Africa – Former EFC middleweight title contender JP ‘Tinkerbell’ Kruger married his long-time partner Tracy Krieger this past week.

“We would like to congratulate JP on this significant milestone in his life and wish him all the best for the future,” stated EFC President Cairo Howarth.

Kruger has been out of action for over a year due to a back injury. Coming off a win against Liam Cleland at EFC 42, ‘Tinkerbell’ is confirmed to make his long awaited return at the first event at EFC 46 against an opponent still to be announced.
