Promising Ugandan super welterweight boxer James Ssebalamu has officially put pen to paper with 12 Sports Rounds Promotions, a fast-growing promotion house led by Stephan Ssembuya. The signing marks a significant step in the young fighter’s career and places him among some of the most rapidly rising talents in the country.
At just 24 years old, Ssebalamu has already shown flashes of elite potential. He is currently ranked 8th out of 30 in Uganda and 603rd out of 2,345 worldwide. With an unbeaten professional record of 3 wins in 3 fights, including 2 knockouts, he has quickly announced himself as a prospect to watch in the super welterweight division.
Joining a Strong, Ambitious Boxing Stable
By joining 12 Sports Rounds Promotions, Ssebalamu now becomes part of a stable that features some of Uganda’s hottest rising stars, including:
- Kasujja Henry (Welterweight)
Ranked 119/2,665 worldwide and 2/20 in Uganda, Kasujja has steadily built a reputation for his grit, durability, and big-fight potential. - Owen Isaac “Matrix” Kibira (Super Welterweight)
One of the fastest-rising names in Ugandan boxing, ranked 2/30 in Uganda and 190/2,345 globally, despite having just 4 professional bouts, all victories with 3 knockouts.
Ssebalamu’s arrival adds further depth and power to a team already known for producing disciplined, hardworking, and technically gifted athletes.
Contract Details Remain Confidential
While the signing has been confirmed, specific terms of the partnership — including the financial package and contract duration — have not been disclosed. The promotion has maintained full confidentiality regarding the numbers involved, leaving fans curious about the scale of investment behind Ssebalamu’s future.
However, insiders believe the deal aligns with 12 Sports Rounds Promotions’ broader mission: to develop and export top-tier Ugandan boxing talent onto the continental and global stage.
A New Chapter for a Rising Star
With a growing fan base, a clean undefeated record, and the backing of a reputable promotional house, James Ssebalamu is entering a new chapter full of promise. As he joins Kasujja Henry, Owen “Matrix” Kibira, and others within 12 Sports Rounds Promotions, expectations are already building for major fights ahead.
If nurtured well, Ssebalamu could soon become one of Uganda’s most talked-about super welterweights — and a future contender on the international scene.
