Pretorians refuse to accept Priddy Ugly as one of their own after the rapper was pummelled in the first round of his boxing match against the now-reigning ‘Celeb City’ champion, Cassper Nyovest.
Priddy Ugly hails Cassper Nyovest after first round TKO
In the build-up to Saturday’s affair at the Sun Bet Arena in Times Square, Pretoria, the MUD artist was a favourite to step in the ring and humble the insufferable boaster Nyovest.
His low centre of gravity could have easily tired the stocky Put Your Hands Up rapper with agility if he had the stamina to make it past Round 1.
However, as we saw, not only was Priddy Ugly outclassed in every respect, but he took jolting blows to the face in full view of his wife, Bontle Modiselle, whose gob-smacked facial expression became the latest viral meme.
Of course, Nyovest was quick to jump on social media to serve Priddy humble pie.
In a showing of good sport, Priddy took the embarrassing loss up the chin — literally — and surfaced on social media the next day, where he was the butt of viral jokes.
“Treat your losses as lessons. The thing about being public figures is that your wins, but mostly your losses are displayed for the world to see. With odds stacked against us, last night we fell, but the bounce back is where the character is built. Looking forward to the rise!” he wrote.
The Pretoria rapper also paid respects to Nyovest, conceding that he “definitely worked hard and earned your victory.”
“Boxing is exciting, entertaining, takes real guts, heart and discipline. Let’s continue supporting the sport,” he tweeted
Nyovest reciprocated the love and saluted Priddy for having the gall to put all the trash talking in the ring with gloves on.
For fans of celebrity boxing, the display was a source of hilarious memes and reactions. Here’s a pick of our favourites:
