Cassper Nyovest on how discipline helped transform his body

Cassper Nyovest had to lose weight quickly while gearing up for his boxing match with fellow rapper Priddy Ugly, and the discipline helped him. 

On Twitter, Cassper said he now applies those disciplinary practices to his life.  

“One of the greatest ways to practise self-control and learn the basics of how life works is transforming your body. Cheating on your diet and missing a training session is self-sabotage. Do what you need to do and you get the results that you want. It’s just that simple,” he said.

The boxing match ended in the first round, when Cassper knocked out Priddy Ugly.

“Experience, skills and sticking to the plan made me win. Staying calm and not rushing. We are back on top; that's what they know us for. I win so much that they get excited when I lose,” Cassper told TshisaLIVE.

After losing to NaakMusiQ in April, Cassper said he had a different strategy with Priddy Ugly.  

“In my last fight I rushed and I got tired. I was definitely more nervous this time around. I was nervous before it was time to get into the ring.” 

Priddy, who has done kick-boxing in the past, said his strategy was to weaken Cassper by tiring him out, and though things did not go his way, he was still proud of himself and his team.

“I lost fair and square. For me it’s a lesson to go back in there and work harder,” he said.
