UBF to Sanction More Upcountry Fights Following Successful Bunyangabu Exhibition

The Uganda Boxing Federation (UBF) has pledged to increase the number of sanctioned upcountry boxing events following a successful exhibition in Bunyangabu District earlier this month.

Kyamukube Playground in Rubona drew a large crowd as local boxing enthusiasts gathered to watch a lineup that featured a mix of local prospects and national talent.

The headline exhibition bout between Amoko Innocent of the Uganda People’s Defence Forces (UPDF) and Uganda Police’s Oume Hassan Habibu ended in a draw, but the event was deemed a success by organizers and federation officials.

The showcase, held under tight security with medical teams on-site, was officially sanctioned by UBF. It highlighted emerging talent from the region and marked what stakeholders believe is a new chapter in the federation’s efforts to promote the sport beyond Kampala.

Victor Kalenzi, Executive Director of Fins Medical University and chief event organizer, said the event had met its key objective.

“Through this talent witnessed, we can promote more talents,” Kalenzi said. “We can also use sports to bring the masses together.”

He added that a boxing ring has already been installed in Bunyangabu to support future events and training.

UBF President Moses Muhangi described the exhibition as a strategic step toward decentralizing the sport.

“We sanctioned the fight and we shall continue sanctioning more upcountry fights under strict safety guidelines in order to spread the game,” he said. “This also helps us to conform to the new sports law that mandates at least 75% national coverage for each sports federation.”

The Uganda Boxing Federation remains the only body legally recognized to sanction boxing events in the country and has been increasingly focusing on grassroots development to grow the sport nationwide.
