UBF Licensing Commission Revives Professional Boxing in Uganda

The Uganda Boxing Federation (UBF) Licensing Commission is spearheading a remarkable revival of professional boxing in Uganda, setting a new standard for the sport across the region. With a focus on efficiency, accountability, and structure, the commission is breathing life into a boxing scene that was once plagued by disorganization.

In recent months, the UBF Licensing Commission has introduced streamlined procedures for fighter licensing, enforced strict regulations for promoters, and implemented credible matchmaking policies. These efforts have not only restored confidence among stakeholders but also attracted attention from neighboring countries looking to emulate Uganda’s success.

“We’re witnessing a significant shift. If this momentum continues, professional boxing in Uganda will not only rise but thrive,” said a senior coach at Kampala’s Sparks Boxing Club.

The impact of these changes is already evident. More fighters are entering the ring with proper licenses and medical clearances, while promoters are organizing events that meet international standards. Additionally, the Uganda Boxing Champions League has gained increased media visibility and sponsorship interest, signaling a brighter future for the sport.

“UBF is setting a standard we haven’t seen in years. Fighters feel protected, events feel organized, and we’re finally getting the respect we deserve,” shared a rising light middleweight boxer.

With its steady leadership and commitment to professionalism, the UBF Licensing Commission is paving the way for Uganda to reclaim its status as a boxing powerhouse in Africa. The resurgence of the sport could soon produce champions capable of competing on global stages, from East Africa to Las Vegas.

In a sport often marred by internal conflicts, the UBF’s disciplined approach offers hope for a new golden era of professional boxing. The comeback is no longer a distant dream—it’s happening now.
