The Uganda Boxing Champions League enters its crucial sixth week with fireworks expected this Saturday at Lugogo Indoor Arena, as Nicholas Lubega steps up to face the undefeated Kemis Ibrahim in a battle that could reshape the Super Welterweight rankings.

 Main Event: A Test of Pride and Pressure

Nicholas Lubega, one of Lukanga Boxing Club’s most seasoned fighters, returns to the ring with a mission — to reclaim his place among Uganda’s elite after a frustrating start to the season. Standing in his way is the fast-rising Kemis Ibrahim of KCCA Boxing Club, who has yet to taste defeat in this year’s campaign.

“This fight means everything to me,” Lubega told local press ahead of the bout. “It’s not just about points — it’s about respect. I’m coming for it all.”

Kemis, on the other hand, remains calm under pressure. With a record of decisive victories and growing fan admiration, he looks to cement his dominance.

“I train for every opponent like they’re a champion. Lubega is good, but I’m better,” Kemis stated confidently.

 Undercard Highlights: Young Blood and Veteran Fire

While the main event grabs headlines, the undercard promises its own share of drama:

• Farid Bwogi, the national team captain, makes a return to the league.
• Ssemuddu Muzamir, known for his tactical finesse, is rumored to be watching ringside ahead of a possible August return.
• Women’s bouts also take center stage, with Brenda Nakidde looking to extend her unbeaten streak.

 What’s at Stake?

Week 6 marks the midpoint of the league — where pretenders fall and contenders rise. A win for Lubega would revive his campaign, while victory for Kemis pushes him closer to a guaranteed national call-up for the African Championships.

For fans, it’s more than a fight; it’s a statement night — where gloves meet ambition and reputations are on the line.
