“Too Close to Call!” — Top Matchmaker Faisal Ashinda Breaks Down Musuza vs. Muwanguzi

Ugandan boxing fans may soon witness one of the most electrifying domestic clashes in recent memory as negotiations enter their final stages for a super featherweight showdown between Emmanuel “Spyder Jr.” Muwanguzi and Musuza “Da Cobra” Hassan.

Trusted sources confirm that talks are in the final phase, with the fight highly likely to headline the Kampala Fight Night Series on December 4, 2025, an event promoted by Zebra Mando Promotionz and set to take place at Supremacy Lounge.

Two Titans on a Collision Course

Emmanuel “Spyder Jr.” Muwanguzi, ranked #3 in Uganda and #236 worldwide, continues his rapid rise through the super featherweight division. The unbeaten contender (9–0, 5 KOs), representing Spyder Boxnation Promotion, has earned praise for his technical sharpness, ring discipline, and calculated approach.

His recent inclusion in the African Boxing Union (ABU) October rankings further solidifies his status as one of Uganda’s most promising prospects. Although yet to make his international debut, Muwanguzi proved his ability against foreign opposition last year when he outclassed Tanzania’s Abdallah Zamba via unanimous decision at Lamela Sports Bar in Kampala.

Da Cobra’s Venom Still Potent

Standing opposite him is Musuza “Da Cobra” Hassan — Uganda’s #1 super featherweight and #227 globally. With 11 wins (10 by KO), 3 losses, and 1 no contest, Musuza commands attention as one of East Africa’s most destructive punchers with a staggering 90.91% knockout rate.

Despite suffering a fifth-round TKO against Ukrainian boxer Danylo Honcharuk in Dubai on November 9, 2024, Da Cobra remains a formidable threat. His anticipated return later this year sets a perfect backdrop for this blockbuster battle.

Matchmaker Faisal Ashinda Weighs In

Uganda’s top-rated matchmaker, Faisal Ashinda, has shared his early prediction on the potential megafight — and he expects a razor-close contest.

Ashinda described the bout as a “50/50 fight”, stressing that both fighters possess the tools to win. He also highlighted Musuza’s experience advantage:

“Musuza has the best résumé so far and has faced tougher opponents,”
Ashinda noted, pointing to Da Cobra’s deeper professional record and international exposure.

Despite this, he emphasized that Muwanguzi’s unbeaten run and technical mastery make him equally dangerous, creating one of the most balanced matchups in recent years.

A Clash of Styles and High Stakes

If finalized, the fight will be more than a domestic headliner — it will be a classic contrast of styles:

  • Muwanguzi: Technical, strategic, defensively polished
  • Musuza: Explosive, aggressive, knockout-driven

The winner would not only claim super featherweight supremacy in Uganda but also strengthen their position for continental and global opportunities.

A source close to both camps summed up the anticipation:
 “Two proud warriors, one division, one crown.”

A Defining Night for Ugandan Boxing

With the Kampala Fight Night Series gaining momentum and the nation’s boxing scene thriving, Spyder Jr. vs Da Cobra has all the ingredients to become one of the most talked-about showdowns of 2025.

Should the fight be officially confirmed, December 4 at Supremacy Lounge may witness a defining moment — a battle that shapes the future of Uganda’s super featherweight division and adds a new chapter to the country’s boxing legacy.
