The biggest night in South African boxing since Lennox Lewis took on Hasim Rahman back in 2001 is upon us.
Rapper Cassper Nyovest and actor-musician NaakMusiq will throw hands at each other in the main event of the Celebrity Boxing Exhibition. The glitz-and-glamour event will take place at Sun City Super Bowl in the North West tomorrow night.
The undercard of this bout will be for the vacant South African Junior Bantamweight. The 12-round fight will be between Eastern Cape boxers Athenkosi Dumezweni and Landi Ngxeke.
According to betting company HOLLYWOODBets, "Don Billiato" (Refiloe Phoolo) is the outright favourite to defeat NaakMusiQ, or his real name, Anga Makubalo. These odds are currently 11/20 in favour of Nyovest, while NaakMusiQ's coming in at a longer 14/10.

FootballThe bookies reasoned that Nyovest's experience in the ring counts in his favour. This is after he proverbially put the paws on controversial YouTube critic SlikTalk in a one-sided "Fame vs Clout" match back in December last year.
Those lucky enough to attend the extravaganza - or watching at home - can dance along to the country's "who's-who" of the music industry. Nasty C, Blxckie, DJ Sumbody, DJ Zinhle, Uncle Waffles, Big Zulu, Zakes Bantwini, Young Stunna, Daliwonga, Culoe De Song, Ayanda MVP, DJ Thuli P, De Mthuda, DJ Sphe and Naves among others will perform during a pre-fight concert.
The broadcast of the entire event will start at 5 pm on SuperSport Variety (channel 209) and Channel O on DStv.
