Sabelo Ngebiyana does not understand why some boxing followers believe he’s going to lose when he fights against Mzuvukile ‘Old Bones’ Magwaza.
Ngebiyana clashes with Magwaza in an eight rounds bout at The Galleria, Sandton, in Johannesburg on Thursday next week.
“I’m surprised that there are people who believe Magwaza is gonna beat me. Magwaza has never met a boxer like me,” Komani-born Ngebiyana said.
The former South African junior-bantamweight champion, who goes to the Magwaza fight on the back of a fifth round stoppage of Edmonton-born Ashley Sexton in April, has insisted that he will be too good for his Cape Town-based opponent.
“I was still an upcoming boxer when he was a hit. Now he won’t know what hit him. I’m going to expose him,” Ngebiyana remarked.
“Let him continue to talk, let him deceive himself and think he’s going to win. Magwaza is gonna be easy, very easy for me. He is a has-been and we don’t belong in the same ring.”
Meanwhile, Ngebiyana has revealed that his main aim is to go up the ratings and ultimately challenge SA junior-featherweight champion Bongani Mahlangu, who dethroned Ayabonga Sonjica earlier this month.
“My aim is to challenge for the SA title. Mahlangu has what I believe belongs to me. And I have no doubt that I can beat him,” Ngebiyana, who is rated ninth in SA, concluded.
