“I worked hard for this, and I’m happy to have made this remarkable comeback… This means everything to me,” Moyo said.

Elvis Moyo, nicknamed “Bulawayo Bomber” due to his powerful striking, has had a long and varied combat sports career.

Before transitioning to MMA, Moyo established himself as a professional boxer, holding the World Boxing Federation (WBF) All-Africa heavyweight title on multiple occasions.
