Johannesburg, South Africa – In another dramatic turn of events regarding EFC 100, following the injury which sidelined middleweight champion Luke Michael and the welterweight champ Ziko Makengele stepping-in at short notice to replace him, the challenger Pupanga Tresor has informed the EFC he is declining the change of opponent. EFC management have given Tresor a 72-hour window to reconsider his decision, which if it remains the same will most likely result in the withdrawal of a title shot in future.

 

EFC Matchmaker Graeme Cartmell – “Ziko is stepping up with only 2 weeks to prepare, Tresor’s isn’t keen to take the replacement. Our job is to find a credible replacement, which we did, the middleweight Title opportunity is here, now. Kruger now becomes the number one contender.” 

 

With two other incredible title fights at EFC 100, fight fans can be assured that the event will remain a celebration of Africa’s greatest combat sports promotion and its enduring legacy regardless of these unexpected twists. With the gritty Cole Henning battling the dangerous Tshilumba Mikixi for the interim lightweight belt and the ever-dynamic Nicholas Hwende defending his bantamweight strap against the legendary Nkazimulo Zulu, EFC 100 remains an event that MMA fans across the planet can ill-afford to miss.

 

EFC 100 is presented by World Sports Betting and takes place on Thursday, 01 December 2022 live from the EFC Performance Institute in JHB, South Africa.
