As soon as my promoter informed me of the bout, I knew I had to stay ready. I\u2019ve been spending most of my time in the gym, training hard and pushing myself to the limit,\u201d he shared.<\/p>\n<p>Asked about the magnitude of the upcoming fight and the pressure around fighting in Las Vegas, Nakathila said he has become a regular fighter in the US and facing Muratalla at the MGM Grand arena will be another chance to further cement his status there.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI know this fight is huge, and the pressure is definitely on. But I\u2019ve been to Las Vegas before and have beaten a tough opponent there before, so I know what to expect and fully understand the amount of pressure that comes with fighting in those arenas. I\u2019m ready to leave a lasting impression and make my return to Vegas a memorable one. Muratalla must be reminded that I\u2019m no newcomer to Las Vegas,\u201d he cautioned.<\/p>\n<p>Nakathila has 25 fights with 23 wins (19 knock-outs) and only two losses, while Muratalla boasts 17 fights; 14 via knock-out.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Nakathila\u2019s promoter Nestor Tobias also expressed confidence in their preparations and readiness for the fight.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve done everything we need to do to get Nakathila ready for this fight. We train every day, and we\u2019re just waiting for the day to come so that we can execute our plan and finish the job. As a stable, we\u2019re ready to take on any challenge,\u201d he confidently stated.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/namibia\">Namibia<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Namibia.
