At 4-0, Landman has been busy since turning pro on January 31 this year. He has fought twice in Ghana and twice in Azerbaijan so far. This will be the third straight month Yonatan has fought. Each of his fights have ended in a knockout victory.
Mashaka is a 35 year old from Tanzania with a record of 3-6-1. He was 3-2-1 from 2009-2011 and then spent eleven and half years away from the ring. He has lost four straight since coming back and has been knocked out in each of those fights. Mashaka throws a straight jab and is elusive defensively, but he has poor punch technique otherwise. Occasionally, he'll bum-rush opponents which will test Landman's patience under fire.
As long as Landman keeps his cool and takes advantage of the openings Mashaka will provide, the Tanzanian shouldn't put up much resistance. Though this will be the most experienced opponent Landman has faced as a pro, Yonatan's last opponent Aghasalim Mustafazade had more skills.
Mashaka. though, will not only have an experience advantage, but he's also the naturally bigger man. A light flyweight in his first iteration, recently he has fought at least twenty pounds heavier. His size, experience, and awkwardness will pose a challenge for Landman.
