Fans believe his voice and delivery could change how people experience the fight. His ability to turn simple moments into something memorable is seen as a good match for a bout that is expected to be unpredictable. Supporters of both fighters have already begun sharing clips and jokes online, imagining how DJ Afro might react to different moments during the match.
The rivalry between Majembe and Mbavu Destroyer has played a big role in building anticipation for the event. What began as an online exchange has grown into a major attraction, with both fighters gaining large followings.
