Ugandan super featherweight contender Joshua Tusingwire is quietly putting together one of the most impressive boxing résumés of the year, earning recognition as one of the country’s most consistent and hardworking athletes in 2025. Currently ranked No. 2 out of 15 in Uganda and 233rd out of 2,060 worldwide, Tusingwire’s trajectory reflects discipline, resilience, and a hunger for global relevance.

With a professional record of 9 bouts — 8 wins (2 by KO) and only 1 loss — Tusingwire has been on a steady climb since suffering his lone career defeat to Musuza Hassan on January 20, 2024. Instead of derailing him, that setback ignited a streak of dominance: six consecutive victories, all secured with authority and tactical maturity.

A Year of International Tests — and Triumphs

What sets Tusingwire apart this year is not just his winning streak, but the quality and diversity of his opposition. Fighting outside opponents is an expensive and challenging task for many Ugandan boxers, yet Tusingwire has successfully taken on — and defeated — three fighters from different countries in 2025 alone.

His notable wins include:

• Salum Gumbo (Tanzania) — Ranked 626/2,060 worldwide.
  Tusingwire secured a hard-earned unanimous decision (UD) victory after 10 competitive rounds.
• Isaya Ally (Tanzania) — Ranked 718/2,060.
  Tusingwire dominated with a clear UD win over 8 rounds, showcasing improved ring IQ and stamina.
• Muhindo Vianney Bahati (DR Congo) — A physically tough and durable opponent.
  The Ugandan star delivered another disciplined UD victory in 6 rounds.

Facing more than two foreign opponents in a single year is rare for many local fighters due to financial and logistical challenges. Yet Tusingwire, under the guidance of BTM Management, has taken on these hurdles and delivered top-tier performances every time he steps into the ring.

A Breakout Year for Tusingwire

Given his ranking, his impressive win streak, and his willingness to test himself against international competitors, Joshua Tusingwire has emerged as one of Uganda’s most outstanding boxers this year. His résumé continues to strengthen, making a solid case for him to be considered among the country’s best active fighters in the super featherweight division.

As he continues to rise through the global ranks, Ugandan boxing fans will be watching closely — and with pride — as Tusingwire inches closer to elite status on the world stage. The momentum is clearly his, and 2025 may just be the year he breaks through.
