Elvis Moyo will defend his new EFC heavyweight championship against Matunga Djikasa from DRC. The fight date remains unannounced. Djikasa challenged Moyo right after Thursday's match ended, causing tension between the fighters. Moyo accepted immediately, saying he waited years for this opportunity.
Their rivalry started two years ago when Djikasa defeated Vandam Mbuyi, who trained with Moyo. After that fight, Djikasa taunted Moyo through the cage, punching the fence that separated them. Moyo tried climbing over in response before security stepped between them. They nearly settled their differences in a bare-knuckle fight last year, but officials canceled the match.
Moyo called the upcoming battle personal because of their history. He plans to prove himself against his rival when they finally meet in the cage. The Zimbabwean champion believes he has advantages in strength, strategy, and determination. Their long-standing grudge match will happen under official EFC rules instead of the informal setting they almost fought in previously.
