Rematch Against Jefri Nichol, El Rumi Says Boxing Needs Brain Not Just Muscles

Facing the rematch against Jefri Nichol on August 9, 2025, El Rumi appears very relaxed and unburdened. Despite being the defending champion, he claims not to feel any pressure to regain victory.

For El, fighting in the boxing ring is not just about physical strength, but also about calmness and strategy. According to him, mental pressure can actually backfire and ruin performance during the match.

"Actually, whether I lost or won yesterday, there was no pressure. Because in boxing, if there is mental pressure, it will be heavy," said El Rumi when met in the SCBD area, South Jakarta, on Friday (11/7/2025). Let's check it out! If not now, when?

Furthermore, Syifa Hadju's boyfriend emphasizes that boxing is a sport that requires intelligence to read the opponent's game and apply the right strategy at the right moment.

"Boxing requires a high level of calmness because it's not just about fighting but we also have to apply strategies," he said.

El Rumi believes that the key to victory lies not only in the power of the punches but also in the ability to think clearly amidst the heat of the fight.

"So we have to stay calm to think, because boxing also requires brains, not just muscles," he asserted.

In addition to mental preparation from within, El Rumi's spirit is also fueled by the full support of his girlfriend. The presence and support from Syifa Hadju make a significant difference compared to previous matches.

"Of course, with the support of my girlfriend, I feel more motivated. Whoever has their girlfriend's support will definitely be more enthusiastic," said El with a glowing face.

El even referred to this support factor as one of his new 'weapons.' He acknowledged that in his first fight against Jefri, he did not have the special boost of motivation that he feels now.

"The difference is, in the first fight I didn't have that support, but now I do. So my training is also more enthusiastic," concluded El Rumi.
