Speaking recently on The Sias du Plessis Show, 'Stillknocks' squashed all rumors and disclosed that he is waiting to sign the contract. He said:

"All these rumors that came out with injuries, I don't know where it came from. It was ridiculous. I was like, 'Okay', and I just left it for like a week and then I was like, 'Okay everybody had their fun. Now you're all going to look stupid'. And we've already agreed on a date. We had, and that's been a while ago. So I'm just waiting for the contract. But that's the fight that's happening."
