Kampala, Uganda – Rising Ugandan boxing star **Ezra “The Money Weza” Ssali** has officially set off for Dubai ahead of what promises to be the biggest test of his professional career. Fighting out of **Kalinabili Boxing Club** under **Zebra Mando Promotions**, the 24-year-old will make his international debut on **Saturday, September 13, 2025**, at the prestigious **Round 10 Boxing Club, Dubai.

Ssali (5–0, 3 KOs), currently ranked **No.1 out of 4 in Uganda** and **353rd worldwide (out of 1,190) in the super flyweight division**, is set to face **Sultan Al Nuaimi** (12–0, 7 KOs), the undefeated Emirati fighter with a strong reputation on home soil. The bout will be contested over **six rounds at super flyweight**.

For Ssali, this fight is more than just another step in his career—it’s a chance to prove that a homegrown Ugandan talent can shine on the international stage. He earned respect back home after his grueling **10-round title victory over Joseph Katabi of Luweero**, a fight decided by a split decision that crowned him **Ugandan bantamweight champion**.

While Ssali is unbeaten, he enters the ring as the underdog against Al Nuaimi, who boasts **53 total rounds of experience** compared to Ssali’s **20 rounds**. The Emirati’s technical foundation and endurance could pose serious challenges. However, Ssali’s **higher knockout percentage (60%)** compared to Al Nuaimi’s **58.33%** suggests he carries fight-ending power that could turn the bout at any moment.

Sultan Al Nuaimi, though inactive in recent months, has fought tougher international opposition in his 12-fight career. Still, the pressure of returning to action against a hungry and ambitious opponent like Ssali could make this a far more competitive affair than many predict.

With Ugandan boxing gaining momentum on the global scene, all eyes will be on Dubai this weekend. The question remains: **Could Ezra Ssali become the first Uganda-based fighter to secure a victory in Dubai this year, and announce himself as a force beyond Africa?**
