Some people believe having sex before engaging in a boxing match can affect your performance, but Big Zulu says he's prepared to take the necessary precautions as he trains for his first bout.
On April 23, the Mali Eningi hit maker will step into the ring with his opponent Brian Dings who has experience in the boxing industry and is popular for his stint as a body guard on Moja Love's reality show Uyajola 9/9.
“I will be fighting for the first time in boxing. I've been preparing by going to the gym.”
“I didn't choose my opponent, the people training me suggested him to me because he is big, but I have never been beaten, so I won’t start now,” he told TshisaLIVE.
Ahead of the match, Big Zulu has been making drastic lifestyle changes — among those have been his attempts to abstain from sex and drinking less while training.
“I respect the advice they have been giving me. They advised me not to sleep with women while training. One of the boxers I saw at the gym is going on seven months without sleeping with a woman, and you can see by the way he moves and the way he is aggressive when he fights that it has been long since he slept with a woman,
“With me I can tell the difference when I do sleep with a woman, I tend to be weak, my knees are weak, so I'm trying. Even when it comes to drinking, I try to stay away from that, perhaps I have just one drink.”
When he started training, Big Zulu weighed 127.5kg and is now at 115.5kg.
“I've lost weight and it turns out the more I lose weight, the faster and stronger I become. My wish is to continue doing it because it has made me more disciplined.”
