Legacy vs. Opportunity in the Main Event
The long-awaited return of former EFC Featherweight Champion Boyd "Sneaky" Allen faces the ultimate test in a highly-charged contender bout against rising powerhouse Vince Bembe. Allen, one of Africa's most respected martial artists, brings precision boxing and elite composure into the Hexagon. Across from him stands Bembe, whose journey from security guard to star is fueled by fearless pressure and devastating knockout power. This is more than a fight; it’s a collision of worlds, a decorated veteran versus a self-made powerhouse, with the ultimate prize at stake: the next shot at Billy Oosthuizen's Featherweight Title.
Bembe, who believes this will be the biggest victory of his career, faces an opponent Allen described as his toughest yet. Their silent, handshake-free face-off set a powerful tone for the coming intensity.
