Priddy Ugly opens up about that boxing match with Cassper Nyovest

Rapper Priddy Ugly and Cassper Nyovest's celeb boxing match will be remembered mostly because it didn't last longer than two minutes and Priddy Ugly has explained once again how that match came about.

Zingah shared a teaser on his Twitter for his next episode on his podcast and Priddy shared how the match was planned. 

“He reached out to me and is like yo I'm gonna say some stuff on Twitter and I need you to respond, lets just see what people are saying. I was like no I got you. Eventually we announce the fight and then I had to do a lot of stuff behind the scenes that people don't know. This is four weeks before the fight. The weakest thing that I had coming into the fight was getting told your head movement is weak and you are not moving your head around.”

In the first two-minute round, Cassper knocked out Priddy Ugly to become the champion on the evening.

“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.

Cassper said he had a different strategy for the fight with Priddy.

“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 said he trained for six hours weekly for the past three months and was disappointed to lose the fight so quickly

“When someone much heavier than you hits you in the head, it doesn't matter how prepared you are, you'll go dizzy. When he landed blows on me it did affect me. The great thing I'm blessed about is that I'm not hurt. He knocked me down and I'm still here with no bruises.”
