UBF Licensing Commission on a Roll — Igniting the Comeback of Pro Boxing in Uganda and Beyond

Chris P | June 29, 2025

The Uganda Boxing Federation (UBF) Licensing Commission is setting the local and regional boxing scene ablaze with its renewed energy, swift actions, and strong leadership—sparking real hope for the revival of professional boxing not just in Uganda, but across the continent.

In recent months, the commission has embarked on a transformative mission, streamlining licensing procedures, enforcing compliance among stakeholders, and bringing long-overdue structure to the once-chaotic pro boxing space. Fighters, promoters, gyms, and fans alike are feeling the momentum—and they like what they see.

🔥 “We’re witnessing a shift. If this energy holds, professional boxing in Uganda will not only rise but thrive,” said a senior coach at Kampala-based Sparks Boxing Club.

From fast-tracked licensing of fighters, to strict promoter regulations, to credible matchmaking policies, the UBF Licensing Commission is clearly focused on professionalism, accountability, and growth.

PRO BOXING GLORY IS LOADING…

The signs are already showing:

• More fighters are entering the ring legally licensed and medically cleared.
• Promoters are organizing events that meet international standards.
• The Uganda Boxing Champions League is thriving with media visibility and sponsorship interest.

This wave of change is attracting regional attention, with neighboring countries eyeing Uganda as a model for how to rebuild and regulate a professional boxing ecosystem.

🇺🇬 “UBF is setting a standard we haven’t seen in years. Fighters feel protected. Events feel organized. We’re finally getting the respect we deserve,” said a rising light middleweight boxer.

THE FUTURE LOOKS BRIGHT

If this momentum continues, Uganda could soon reclaim its spot as a powerhouse in African boxing, producing champions that can compete on global stages—from East Africa to Las Vegas.

In a sport long marred by confusion and conflict between rival bodies, the UBF Licensing Commission’s steady hand could be the key to unlocking a new golden era.

Bottom Line:
With fire in its engines and discipline at its core, the UBF Licensing Commission is bringing structure, credibility, and real hope back to pro boxing. The comeback is no longer a dream—it’s happening now.
