Cassper Nyovest has spoken out over the death of South African boxer Simiso Buthelezi. This follows the boxer’s death, which occurred after he was hospitalised following a tense battle.
Buthelezi faced Siphesihle Mntungwa for the WBF African Lightweight title in Durban’s Greyville Convention Centre on Sunday.
“RIP to Simiso Buthelezi. It takes a true warrior to get in the ring and entertain people through fistic art. May God be with your soul and heal your family. #SimisoButhelezi,” wrote Cassper.

Cassper’s love for boxing has been widely applauded when he competed in boxing matches with Slik Talk and Naaq Musiq. He’s also been a vocal supporter of local boxing, which inspired the concept of celebrity boxing.
Social media users have also paid tribute to the fallen boxer.
Rest in peace to Simiso Buthelezi, many of you would’ve seen the video of Simiso boxing an ‘invisible opponent’ in a clip that recently went viral.
Sadly, he didn’t make it. Absolute tragedy. God rest his soul & God bless his family. ❤️🕊 pic.twitter.com/vtA9GVGfh6
