Welterweight Muzamir ‘King Kong’ Kakande has given Uganda its first major boxing tourney in 13 years, after his final fight on Sunday.
Uganda ended the AIBA African Boxing Championships in Congo Brazzaville with a gold and two silver medals. The winnings thus become Uganda’s first gold in a major boxing tournament.
Uganda national champion Kakande beat Mauritian Merven Clair on points and is one of three Ugandan boxers who booked their place in the World Boxing Championships due in Hamburg in August.
The 19th AIBA World Boxing Championships will be held in the German city of Hamburg.
Hamburg will host the world’s top 280 elite male boxers for the first time in the new Olympic cycle to Tokyo 2020.
Qualification for Hamburg comes in the form of the various AIBA Continental Championships held in May and June.
