ESPN Africa Boxing 18 serves up a sensational night of exciting and tense drama with Cassper Nyovest in attendance

The latest round of ESPN Boxing Africa proved to be the best iteration of the increasingly popular series.

As reported by Sports Brief, the action took place at The Galleria in Sandton, Johannesburg in front of a highly enthusiastic crowd. Each fight was decided by knockout as the fighters on show went all out for victory satisfyingly instead of choosing the usually sensible approach of keeping matters conservative in eking out the victory.

There was much excitement at some point in the night as rapper Cassper Nyovest, the most popular amateur boxer in the crowd, made an appearance as the guest of honour.
