Hekkie Budler means business! Known as “The Hexecutioner”, this 27 year old
professional Johannesburg based boxer fights under none other than boxing
promoter Rodney Berman of Golden Gloves Promotions. At the age of
seventeen, Budler won the SA Title as the youngest ever boxer to win a
senior title. Most recently he successfully defended his title at Emperors
Palace when he boxed against Simphiwe Khonco, a fight

Africa.

on 31 October. This 23 year old was a presenter for Top TV’s Lifestyle and

also acted on Mzansi Magic’s critically acclaimed drama series Rockville
