Thabiso 'the Rock' Mchunu's Relishing Home Comforts Ahead Of Wbc Fight At The Reckoning

Ahead of his upcoming fight against DR Congos Amador Kalonji on May 1 in Pretoria, South Africa, Thabiso Mchunu is thrilled to have the opportunity to fight on his home turf.

Mchunu lost in a 10-round fight against Muslim Gadzhimagomedov in Moscow, Russia, at the end of January.

Returning home as one of the undercard fights in The Reckoning, headlined by the Kevin Lerena -Serhy Radchenko bout, at the SunBet Arena in Times Square next month presents Mchunu with an opportunity for redemption.

Ahead of his bridgeweight fight against the Russian, Mchunu was confident in his chances but ultimately suffered a costly defeat.

Although there were discussions about Mchunu contemplating a weight reduction to cruiserweight for his upcoming bout, he ultimately chose to engage in a fight within the bridgerweight division against Kalonji.
