As tension builds between the fighters, make sure to book your tickets at Ster-Kinekor!

EFC AFRICA 32 is taking place on Thursday, 07 August, which means the exclusive Ster-Kinekor Prelim Boutsare back on the big screen! This headline fight, part of the EFC AFRICA 32 line-up, is only to be seen in select Ster-Kinekor cinemas around the country, outside of the live event.

The Ster-Kinekor Prelim Bout for EFC AFRICA 32 features two fights that showcase the talents of four massively popular fighters. The ‘God of War’, Durban’s Peter Nyide, takes on Johannesburg’s sensational Wade Groth in the Featherweight division, while Cape Town knock-out specialist heavyweights, Sors ‘Guru’ Grobbelaar and ‘Knife’ Didier-Kilola, go head to head.

These two fights, exclusive to Ster-Kinekor, form part of the main fight card for the EFC AFRICA 32 fight night. South Africa’s leading cinema chain will once again be screening all 12 bouts of EFC AFRICA 32, live on its big screens, in select cinemas on Thursday, 07 August. If you can’t be ringside for this event at the Big Top Arena at Carnival City, then watching all the action from all 12 fights, in this larger-than-life format, is definitely the next best thing!

Bradley Knowles, General Manager: Marketing for Ster-Kinekor Theatres, says: “Following the successful introduction of the exclusive Ster-Kinekor Prelim Bouts last month, EFC Africa and Ster-Kinekor are excited to be bringing this concept back to cinema audiences for EFC AFRICA 32. The calibre of fighters is excellent and though these are billed as prelim bouts, we are expecting some explosive action on the big screen.

“These two fights can only be viewed by audiences at our cinemas, outside of being at the actual live venue. Fans who have watched all the action of EFC AFRICA on our larger than life screens all agree that the whole cinema set-up, including the crystal clarity of our digital projection system, provides a unique viewing experience. This is the perfect way to experience all the drama of all 12 fights on the night.”

”Sors, Knife, Wade and Peter are athletes with big KO power,” said EFC AFRICA president Cairo Howarth. “As soon as we matched them we knew they had to headline the prelim card, because there’s no better place than the big screen to see them in action. They will be fighting to finish, and will be attacking from the buzzer. These two fights are going to blow the roof right off.”

MMA fans across the country can enjoy EFC AFRICA 32 at select Ster-Kinekor cinemas, as the only venues besides the live event, to screen the full fight card. This includes the exclusive Ster-Kinekor Prelim Bout that features the two headline fights of Groth vs. Nyide and Grobbelaar vs. Didier.
