Johannesburg Flyweight Nkazimulo Zulu’s Ascent
Nkazimulo Zulu, known to fans as ZULU BOY, has built a professional record of 16 wins, 7 losses and 1 draw over 24 MMA bouts. The 35 year old trains out of Tapout Academy in Johannesburg, Gauteng, South Africa, and stands 5 feet 5 inches (165 cm). A veteran of the regional circuit, Zulu has fought at least twice in four distinct regions over his last six fights, earning him a #36 ranking in the Middle East & Africa and a #99 spot in the Asia Pacific flyweight standings.
At flyweight, Zulu has invariably returned to the same division for his last two outings, solidifying his place among established contenders in each territory where he has ventured. His journey from local shows to rankings across two continents underscores a deliberate climb rather than a meteoric rise. Now entrenched in the regional top 40 in Africa and making inroads in Asia Pacific, Zulu carries the weight of experience every time he steps into the cage.
