Kampala, Uganda – Ugandan boxing icon Frank “Black Fire” Kiwalabye has officially announced his return to the ring, reigniting his quest for global recognition with a high-stakes showdown for the WBU Super Bantamweight World Title. The long-anticipated fight against Tanzania’s Karim Kisairo is now set for July 11, 2025, at Club Obligato, Kampala.

Kiwalabye, who boasts an impressive 18 wins in 20 professional bouts, with 14 knockouts, made a powerful statement during a press conference at the fight venue, signaling a return not just to action—but to dominance.

"The reason I have come back now is because I am a professional in this boxing game," said Kiwalabye. "I don’t get lost; I stay around, training. As you know, I am a star, and I don’t have to be seen all the time. A star only comes out when it’s their time."

Having previously held the ABU Africa Bantamweight Title in 2022, Kiwalabye now eyes the WBU belt as a stepping stone to even greater achievements.

"This belt adds a lot to me and pushes me, because every belt has its own value to reach other belts that you want. It also helps me promote my country," he added.
