Joshua Feldman to Face Jonas Senga Next Month

Joshua Feldman is scheduled to face Jonas Senga on February 21 at Box Camp Booysens in Johannesburg, Gauteng, South Africa. Feldman's fight will be broadcast on DAZN.

The 20 year old Maccabean Spiderman is a native of Cape Town and has a record of 5-0 with 3 KOs. He posted an impressive performance in his last fight this past November. Jonas Senga signifies a slight step up for Feldman.

From Johannesburg, Senga is 2-2 with 2 KOs. He won his first two bouts in 2022 and then dropped two in 2023. He was scheduled to fight last month in the Elimin8 tournament which was cancelled.

Senga started aggressively in his most recent fight against Douniama Gislain. Senga tends to load up on big punches, which do pack power. He doesn't often jab and doesn't have the best balance. In his fight against Eric Jeancy Mayamba, who was once scheduled to be an opponent for Feldman, Senga let himself get hit too often even though he came back to win by TKO in the second round. Jonas has shown a good chin. In his stoppage loss to Gislain, he was never knocked down.

Feldman should be cautious out the gate and wary of Senga's wild counters, but smart boxing early and letting his hands go once he's in control, should be the ticket to victory.

Senga is a devout Christian, who unfortunately shared a video on Facebook last October that suggests Jews and others who doesn't accept Jesus Christ as their Lord, are doomed to spend the afterlife in Hell. Now, I don't claim to know the eternal resting place for Jonas Senga's soul, but in this six round fight, he's likely going down.
