General
Nkosinathi is a beautifully built and powerful fighter with fantastic all round martial arts skills and massive punching
power.
His general style is most similar to Muay Thai with an attacking and rhythmic approach that guarantees excitement in K-1, Extreme Striking and Muay Thai.
High kick kickboxing was his starting point and his athleticism and huge punches guarantee excitement.
2010 saw the continuing of a dream as fighter and trainer work
together for the 7th year of this young man’s development achieving
the South African K-1 title and a top 10 world ranking with WKF and the promise
of future world title opportunities.
A first world title opportunity was given in November 2012 against the excellent Kontantin Tryshin ending right on the final bell in Tryshin's favour.
October 2013 saw WKF World President Fritz Exenberger offer The Tiger a second World Title opportunity where he met the excellent Rene Blazejovsky from the Czech Republic for the Featherweight World Muay Thai crown, beating him with a final round TKO to take his first World title.
He is a very outgoing and lively boy with a huge cheeky and fun
personality making him an excellent and entertaining hit with the public,
sponsors and media alike.
