All eyes will be on Tumusiime Nerrick and Kanabi Alex this Saturday night as the Boxing Champions League enters Week 7 with a stacked fight card at the NCS Arena in Lugogo.
The spotlight clash in the elite 71kg division promises fireworks, especially after Friday’s fiery weigh-in that nearly turned physical.
Both fighters had to be separated as tempers flared, a sign of the tension and rivalry that has been simmering ahead of their much-anticipated bout.
Nerrick is coming into the ring hungry for redemption. He suffered a disappointing loss in his last fight to Mawanda Depark and knows another setback could hurt his standing.
Despite a strong start to the season with a win, his confidence took a knock and he’ll be desperate to prove himself under the lights.
Kanabi, in contrast, has been flawless so far and carries an unbeaten record into the ring. Calm but confident, he’ll be aiming to keep that streak intact while sending a message to the rest of the division.
Saturday’s action will feature over 20 bouts, with the first punches thrown live on NBS Sport from 9 p.m.—an hour later than the usual start. Fans can expect a thrilling night with several other crowd-pulling contests lined up.
Key undercard fights include:
- Magumba Reagan vs Kazungu Frank
- Mukiibi Bashir vs Mawanda Frank
- Mukwaya Edward vs Juuko Juma
- Kintu Yasin vs Semugayire John
- Segawa William vs Serugo Bashir
With egos, rankings, and reputations on the line, Week 7 promises to deliver one of the most heated nights of the Champions League season so far.
