Featherweight Fireworks: Ssentongo and Musuza Set for Kampala Fight Night Showdown

 Ugandan professional boxing fans are bracing for one of the year’s most anticipated clashes as Sowali Ssentongo takes on Musuza Hassan in a high-stakes featherweight contest at the Kampala Fight Night, set for Supremacy Lounge.

The bout pits two of Uganda’s finest against each other, each boasting impressive records and reputations in the ring.

Sowali Ssentongo enters the fight undefeated, with a perfect 7 wins in 7 bouts, including 3 knockouts. Ranked 4th out of 20 featherweights in Uganda and 418th out of 2,004 worldwide, Ssentongo has built his reputation on sharp technical skills, composure under pressure, and a measured yet punishing fighting style. This will be his biggest test to date, as he faces a more experienced opponent with a proven knockout record.

Across the ring, Musuza Hassan, managed by Damulira and Sons, brings significantly more professional experience with 14 bouts, 10 wins—9 by knockout—and 3 losses. Currently ranked 1st in Uganda and 218th globally in the super featherweight division, Musuza is known for his aggressive forward pressure and fight-ending power. While he has suffered defeats, his high knockout ratio makes him a dangerous opponent for any contender.

On paper, the match-up presents a compelling contrast—Ssentongo’s unbeaten streak and technical finesse versus Musuza’s power-punching experience. The stakes are high: for Ssentongo, a win would cement his status as one of Uganda’s most promising rising stars; for Musuza, victory would further solidify his dominance at the national level and reaffirm his place among Africa’s top contenders.

With both fighters eyeing bigger opportunities beyond Uganda’s borders, this clash could well determine the next breakout name in the featherweight division. Boxing fans can expect fireworks when the first bell rings at Supremacy Lounge on August 27.
