SK: At Slamforce Africa 01 you'll take on SA's own X-Terminator in a qualifying match for the SFA Continental Championship. How prepared are you for the match?
Makita: I took time off this month just to prepare for that 'cause I already noticed he's like the biggest guy, if not one of the biggest. Uh, if I'm not sure how big, he might be the tallest, but I think X-Terminator is the biggest guy that is gonna be on the card. So, me being one of the smallest, facing the biggest, I think literally I know that there already is another David and Goliath match on the card.
I think that actually, this one is gonna be the first one, right? So I had to take the month off just to prepare for him. Uh, I've watched him wrestle, I've seen his [matches] that he did in the past, and I hope he's watched me because if he hasn't then he'll really be in for a huge surprise. But, I know what he can do, so I'm really training just to counter everything that he's, you know, he's got to offer.
SK: X-Terminator is one of the most dominant wrestlers in the entire continent. How do you plan on defeating him?
Makita: That-that's a secret. You know, I can't just give the secret out, because if I do, and if he finds out, then he'll know what my weapon is. You see what I'm saying? So I can't really throw it out there. All I can say is that; for the fans, they'll just have to come out there and be thrilled. At this point, it's wrestling, right? I'm the od—he's the odds on favourite to win. So, I'm the underdog. I have to outsmart him.
And the only thing I'm going to tell you is this: there is always a loophole to even the strongest and the biggest men in the world. Every man has a fighting chance with two hands. I have two hands and two feet. So, I'm gonna find a way. Where there's a will there's a way. And like the sayings goes; I'm doing this, not just for myself. I'm doing this for the entire continent.
I'm doing this even for South Africa itself, you know, 'cause I'm the name right now, that's going around making history everywhere I go. And even though they'll say "He's from Cameroon," I'm making a name for Cameroon, yes I get that. But I call myself the Rock of Africa not because—you don't hear say the Rock of Cameroon, right? It says the Rock of Africa. I represent the entire continent wherever I go.
I'd like to so much do a great job at it. So, why not—if I'm gonna say I'm the best and I come to America and say I'm the best here, I'm the best African, I go to Mexico and say the same thing, I go to England and say the same thing, how... you know, I have to do that at home, you know. So, I've done it in Nigeria and I think, you know, I have to do that in South Africa as well."
SK: Well, thank you so much and good luck on your upcoming match.
Makita: Thank you very much, see you in South Africa.
