'Akeze la' — Big Zulu appears to be ready to take Cassper up on his boxing challenge

Rapper Big Zulu has finally broken his silence over the calls by Cassper and other tweeps for him to consider getting into the boxing ring with Cassper.

Big Zulu, whose real name is Siyabonga Nene, finally posted a few tweets that had fans thinking he's ready to fight Cassper.

He responded to Cassper’s tweet by saying: “Sekuphelelephi ukunwaya isini ngegama lam, akeze la” (Whoever has a problem with me, can come face me).

Cass asked for a date and time for the match, saying “Khuleleka Qhawe lakithi, beka idate iskhathi, ngizobe ngikhona (Set the time and date, I will be there).”

In another tweet, the Mali Eningi rapper said, “Akeze la”, which roughly translates to “Let him try me”.

While Big Zulu vs Cassper surely has the makings of an entertaining show, tweeps have also put and pushed actor Siv Ngesi's name forward as an opponent.

After winning his boxing match against Priddy Ugly at the weekend, who he knocked out in the first round, Cassper made it known he was already thinking about his next fight.

Having raised his hand before as a person interested in taking on Cassper in the ring, Siv's name landed on the Twitter trends list as people felt it was about time Cassper fought against “someone who will be a real challenge”.

Siv tweeted some time ago he would be willing to fight Cassper. He's since agreed with tweeps that Cassper seems to be afraid of him.
