Once hailed as one of the most promising super welterweights in Africa, Uganda’s Stanley Mugerwa has surprisingly gone inactive — both in the ring and on BoxRec — after more than a year without a single fight. With an impressive record of 6 wins in 6 professional bouts, Mugerwa’s disappearance from the active scene has come as a shock to boxing fans and stakeholders alike.
What’s more concerning is the apparent silence and inactivity of his promotion company, A&B Promotions, headed by Acram Iga. The promotion has not staged any events for over a year, leaving questions about its operations and commitment to nurturing its fighters.
Mugerwa, once ranked among the top super welterweights on the continent, was expected to break onto the international scene. His inactivity not only affects his momentum but also raises concerns about whether he is still under the management of A&B Promotions, given their dormant status.
For a boxer of Mugerwa’s caliber to remain sidelined for 12 months is seen as a major disappointment — not just for him, but for Ugandan boxing as a whole. Many believe the failure lies heavily on the promotion company’s shoulders for not creating opportunities or maintaining visibility for one of their brightest talents.
As rising stars like Sulaiman "KO Busungu" Musaalo now lead the rankings and continue to build strong records, the silence around Mugerwa’s future grows louder. Fans are left to wonder: Is Stanley Mugerwa still under A&B Promotions? And if so, why has one of Africa's best been left to fade into inactivity?
The Ugandan boxing fraternity is calling for answers — and more importantly, action.
