Rwanda – July 2, 2025 — Uganda’s COBAP Boxing Club is set to represent the country at the highly anticipated East African Boxing Bonanza, scheduled to take place at Minor Hotel in Rwanda starting July 5th. The team departs today, full of confidence and determination.

According to Coach Kalyango Lora, who heads the COBAP team, the boxers are well-prepared and eager to leave their mark on the regional stage.
"The team is in shape, focused, and physically fit. We’re ready for the challenge and we believe we’ll return home with medals," Coach Lora stated.

The traveling squad includes some of Uganda’s most promising boxing talent, such as Nuhu Bate, Brenda Mudowa, and several others. Nuhu Bate, who will captain the team, is currently the reigning super welterweight champion in the Uganda Boxing Champions League and is expected to lead by example in Kigali.

The Bonanza will bring together top boxing clubs from across East Africa, including:

• Kigali Boxing Club (Rwanda)
