Ugandan boxing will be in the international spotlight on June 13, 2026, when Henry Kigongo Kasujja challenges WBO Global Super Welterweight champion Freddy Kiwitt at the highly anticipated "Flensburg Boxt 3.0" event in Flensburg, Germany.
Kasujja (13-1-1) steps into enemy territory for the biggest fight of his professional career against the experienced Liberian-German champion Freddy Kiwitt (29-3), who will be making another defense of his WBO Global title in front of his hometown fans. The bout headlines a PWR Box Promotion event at the Gorzelniaski Hall and will be streamed worldwide on DAZN.
For Kasujja, this fight represents much more than a title opportunity. It will be his first professional fight in Europe after building his career primarily in Uganda and Kenya. A victory would instantly transform him from a regional contender into an internationally recognized boxer.
What Does a Kasujja Victory Mean?
Should Kasujja pull off the upset, it would arguably become one of the biggest victories by a Ugandan professional boxer on European soil in recent years.
Winning the WBO Global title would:
- Earn him international recognition within the WBO rankings.
- Open doors to bigger fights across Europe, Asia, and the Middle East.
- Increase his market value and attract international promoters.
- Place him closer to future world title opportunities.
- Establish him as one of Uganda's leading professional boxing exports.
For Uganda, such a victory would be equally significant. It would prove that Ugandan professional boxers can successfully compete at a high international level and could encourage more promoters to look toward East Africa for talent. It would also inspire the next generation of Ugandan fighters aiming to build professional careers beyond the continent.
