Cassper Nyovest has announced that he has lost sponsors and TV partners, 10 days ahead of his most anticipated fight against fellow rapper Priddy Ugly.

The boxing match between Nyovest and Priddy Ugly is set to take place at the Capital City’s Sun Bet Arena at Time Square Casino on October 1. In a lengthy Instagram post penned in the wee hours of Tuesday morning, the “Tito Mboweni” hitmaker said: “With Sponsors and TV partners pulling out this fight it’s gonna take a miracle to turn it around but I ain’t give up just yet.

And despite the bad news, it seems Nyovest’s spirit hasn’t been dampened, he told his fans “instead of tossing and turning for hours”, he went for a run instead. As things stand, the only people who are going to see the fight are the people who have bought tickets to see it live. No TV or streaming,” he added in another post.

Nah. Not showing on Supersport. Long story but we lost the SS partnership, which then led to us losing betting company sponsorship cause they want TV. If you wanna see the fight you have to buy tickets and come see it live at Sun Arena PTA next week Saturday. #CassperVsPriddyUgly https://t.co/9gnnzS5ITi

In the build-up to the show, Mufasa revealed that he would quit boxing should he lose to his latest rival, Priddy Ugly.

“I’m fighting Priddy Ugly on the 1st of Oct, that’s in 2 weeks at Sun Arena. If I lose I will quit boxing forever. If I win I wanna fight Big Zulu next. Nobody wants to fight Zulu so i’ll step up. But first, Priddy Ugly Oct 1st, Sun Arena,” tweeted the star.
