Uganda’s super welterweight division has a new frontrunner — and his name is Sulaiman Musaalo, better known in the ring as KO Busungu. With an unblemished record of 6 wins in 6 professional fights, Musaalo has officially overtaken the long-dominant Stanley Mugerwa, who has slipped from the rankings after 12 months of inactivity.

Mugerwa had held the top spot for over a year, but the Ugandan boxing scene is unforgiving to those who stay out of action. His absence opened the door for Musaalo’s meteoric rise, and the KO specialist didn’t miss a step.

Now ranked No.1 in the super welterweight division, Musaalo is followed closely by:

1. Muhammad Sebyala
2. Jeremiah Sserwadda
3. Aaron Ssewalu

With the national spotlight shining brighter than ever, KO Busungu is set to defend his momentum on July 11, when he steps into the ring against Philly Musene. Musene, widely seen as the underdog, will need to dig deep to halt the juggernaut that is Musaalo.

The buzz around the fight is electric, with fans and pundits alike expecting Musaalo to extend his unbeaten streak — and possibly seal it in the brutal, signature fashion that earned him the nickname “KO Busungu.”

As the countdown to July 11 begins, all eyes will be on Uganda’s new top dog in the division. Will Busungu continue his dominance, or will Musene pull off a shocker? One thing’s for certain: the super welterweight throne has a new king — and he’s not planning to step down anytime soon. 🥊🇺🇬
