On Sunday, 22 October boxing lovers, fans and followers of actress Manaka Ranaka and reality TV star and socialite Zodwa Libram better known as Zodwa Wabantu got to see the two ladies battle it out in a boxing ring to see who would come out victorious.
Initially, Zodwa had shared a poster of a fight between her and media personality Khanyi Mbau, something Khanyi squashed when asked by popular blog Maphephandaba.
Manaka took it upon herself to ask Zodwa to rather fight her instead of Khanyi, promising Zodwa a knock out.
Videos of the first female boxing match in Mzansi between the media personalities started circulating shortly after the match, leaving social media users stating how hilarious the two ladies were.
During the boxing match, the ladies seemed scared to hit the other with them constantly hugging instead of fist fighting. They also took turns to chase each other right around the ring, literally running like like a child avoiding a beating.
Manaka took the first knockdown with Zodwa receiving hers just a few seconds later.
Circulating on X (former Twitter), the videos generated a lot of conversation:
