Muay Thai fans in the Mother City have good reason to get excited, as one of South Africas most well-run events returns to Cape Town this weekend.
Thaiholics Fight Promotions (TFP) is back with its ninth show since its inception, and its first for the year.
#TFP9: Battle Royale takes place tomorrow at the Sunningdale Sports Complex near Milnerton, and will roll out a stacked 13-fight card.
With the lack of Muay Thai events, TFP has been a saving grace for many Muay Thai practitioners as it offers an elite platform for fighters at various stages in their martial arts journey.
This weekends event will showcase bouts ranging from junior amateur to senior professional divisions on a card that brings some of the countrys top fighters together under one roof.
Fans are also set to enjoy three title fights on the night.
The main event is a World Muay Thai Organization professional title clash between Cape Towns Shane Deacon and Johannesburgs Thabo Chauke, as these two square off to prove who is the countrys number one professional super welterweight.
There will be two pro-am titles up for grabs as Cape Towns firecracker star Brian Ncube squares off against Altaaf Armien for the SA featherweight title, and PFAs Justin February takes on Durbans Stavon Lewis in their WMO SA middleweight title clash.
The co-main event sees two Cape favourites go head-to-head in a catchweight bout between Thaiholics Cape Towns Rafel Wozniak and Iron Tigers Timothy Steenkamp.
Based on these two athletes past showings, you can expect a fight-of-the-night contender from this one, as both gladiators know how to put on a show.
