AKA confirms boxing match against Cassper Nyovest
Updated | By East Coast Radio
Two of South Africa's musical heavyweights are going to take a break from spitting bars on stages as they get ready to throw punches in the ring.
Are you confused as to why AKA and Cassper Nyovest are being referred to as boxers?

Well, these boxing match rumours started as soon as 2020 did, when Cassper mentioned that he would like to take on his rival, rapper AKA, not in a musical contest but instead in a one-on-one boxing match.
But at first, AKA was just as confused as we were:
If the fight was going to happen this year there would be a signed contract by now. There is no such thing and the date is September 21st. Use your heads. There is not even a sponsor or a venue confirmed. Seriously.

But it was not long after that AKA finally decided to officially challenge Cassper to this highly anticipated boxing match.
As fans of both parties have been left in the dark, they've come up with their own assumptions over the months as to what is actually happening regarding the constant back and forth between the two.

Especially since Nyovest made it clear that he had sent the documentation and contract to AKA and his team but did not receive any response.
He also went on quite the Twitter rant, calling his nemesis a "loudmouth" and a "coward" for talking a lot of game but not following through with the actual fight.
I'm obsessed with the beating I'm gonna give him in the ring!!!! I visualize it everyday!!!! I cant wait!!! He swore at my mom!!! My queen!!! He has to get a beating with the world watching!!! Stop running!!! It's time to stand behind your words!!! Angithi he thinks he's tough!!! https://t.co/J6QLm8QEDS

Over the months, the possible fight has gained even more momentum and, much like this year, the end (being the actual match) might finally be in sight.

After being bombarded with questions on his timeline, AKA finally gave what could be considered a straight answer:
Don’t you worry. It will happen next year. But right now I’m more interested in booking him than fighting him. https://t.co/bFmLOD7tXK
