However, it is not clear if he will abide by Mohamed\u2019s conditions. Henedy believes he will triumph over Jean Claude despite the latter enjoying a huge following in Egypt.<\/p>\n<p>He said, \u201cAnd all Egyptians will encourage the strongest, fiercest and most dangerous side and this is definitely not me. But I will win the prayers of Egyptians, the oil is available, and the best of God is a lot.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the Egyptian is preparing for the fight. However, the date for what could be one of the biggest entertainment events in the world is yet to be set.<\/p>\n<p>Some people have warned the 56 year old against taking such a risk. Hence, they have advised the comic character to find excuses in an effort to avoid the fight.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe will have to think of every excuse to give to avoid the fight and subsequent embarrassment that comes with loosing the fight,\u201d said Anthony Koskei. Mohamed Henedy is a renowned comedian in the middle east. He started his career in 1991, in short appearances in theatres and cinemas.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Malawi.
