Most of us were excited when it was announced that American singer Chris Brown was going to square off in the ring against rapper Soulja Boy in an celebrity boxing match.
We were even awed when Vuyo Dabula (Gadaffi from Generations The Legacy) and Gabrielle Temudzani (King Azwindini of Muvhango) took each other out in a ring.
Now that Chris Brown and Soulja Boy’s once highly anticipated celebrity-boxing match is no longer happening, we can bring the excitement back home with Franco’s fist fight with the Thobane hitmaker.
The organiser of the match Ppwapimp Gilbert Seagile of Gilbert Promotions said it is no secret that Franco and Dr Vom could not solve their issues on the music stage.
“These two gentlemen have had issues dating back as far as one could remember and they had never really solved them,” he said.
“They are known for fights, Dr Vom can become a bouncer at some point so it was about time we took their conflict to the ring,” he said.
Seagile said the two musicians are currently training for the big fight. He said Franco is training at BDF while veteran boxer Thuso Khubamang is training Dr Vom. Photos of the two training for the match have resurfaced on social media.
Seagile further said they want to align the match to a good cause as time goes on. He said the reason why they pushed the date to August is to allow the men to train.
“It will also give us time to make business and activations. We also don’t want to clash with Tlatsa Lebala event,” he highlighted.
He said the event is just a curtain raiser and many events of that nature might be held in the future.
When quizzed why they did not arrange a fight for rappers because of their heated up beefs, Seagile said rappers have a small market compared to Franco and Dr Vom.
Even though we have never seen Franco or Dr Vom fight before, many will be waiting in anticipation to see who would swing the first blow. May the best man win!
