The Drive with Rob and Roz spoke to Francois van Coke about the latest boxing challenge he's received...

Celebrity boxing matches have become a regular fixture in recent years.

It started with American YouTubers stepping into the ring to face each other and has now grown into a beast of its own.

In 2012, famous South African rocker Francois van Coke took on former Blue Bulls and Springbok player Derick Hougaard and was crowned the winner.

Rock royalty met rugby royalty, and it was an iconic fight.

Then it was time for the SA ladies!

Actress Angelique Gerber and singer Tasché Burger entered the boxing ring for BOXOP, with Gerber walking away victorious.

It's been a while since any SA celebs got into a fist fight, but now legendary singer, Robbie Wessels, has posed a challenge.

In a new video on TikTok, Wessels has issued van Coke with another challenge!

It did not seem like Francois was set to respond publicly, so Rob Forbes and Rozanne McKenzie called him to find out if he had seen the video.
