All-Africa Heavyweight Title. On 9 June 2010, Koen defended his title successfully against Boerseun. Following the match, he was challenged by professional kickboxer and mixed martial arts star Jan Nortje, who promised to wager all three of his legitimate kickboxing titles against Koen's All-Africa Heavyweight Title in a future match. In August, 2010, the Sanlam-operated online brand SmartAboutWhat.co.za, which focuses on proving whether or not several popular beliefs and myths are real, held a filmed exhibition entitled Is Wrestling Real? at Shaun Koen's training centre in Pinelands, pitting one of their staff writers against Koen and concluding in the end that "wrestling is indeed real". Professional wrestling style and persona Koen is referred by the nickname "The Lion of Africa". His finishing move is the Lion's Claw while he uses a diving leg drop and an enzuigiri.
