Ronald Ellis primed for South African test

RONALD Ellis is heading to Johannesburg, South Africa, on 28th September to face the powerful Patrick Mukala as part of Seconds Out Promotions’ Genesis card. Ellis, determined not to be a measuring stick for others, possesses the skill and experience to pose a challenge to his opponent from Congo.

Also known as ‘Relentless’ in certain circles, the 34-year-old Ellis has shared the ring with the likes of David Benavidez, Christian Mbilli, and Erik Bazinyan. Despite currently being on a three-fight losing streak, Ellis has victories over Immanuwel Aleem, Christopher Brooker, and a victory over Matt Korobov due to injury.

The Genesis Re-Awakening event will showcase entertainment acts, adding to the celebration of African identity and excellence. The headline bout will feature Patrick ‘The Panther’ Mukala (15-2-1, 14 KOs), a knockout specialist looking to break into the top levels of the middleweight division, against the experienced Ronald ‘Akeem’ Ellis (18-4-2, 12 KOs), who recently joined Freddie Roach at the Wildcard Gym.

As per the promoters, “This fight promises to be an exciting clash of styles—power versus speed—embodying the spirit of Genesis.”
