Uganda Prepared for International Boxing Supremacy as WBU Belt Arrives Ahead of Kiwalabye vs. Kisairo Showdown

As the countdown to one of Uganda's most eagerly awaited boxing events of the year accelerates, the prestigious WBU Super Bantamweight World Title belt has made its grand entrance in Uganda, igniting the anticipation for the highly anticipated bout between Uganda's Frank "Black Fire" Kiwalabye and Tanzania's Karim Kisairo. Set for July 11, 2025, at Club Obligato in Kampala, this fight promises to be more than just another bout - it's a bid for global boxing supremacy.

The symbolic arrival of the belt was marked by a ceremonial handover attended by Kiwalabye himself and Ziso Boxing Promotions, the event's official promoters. The WBU belt's arrival in Uganda serves to heighten national excitement and sends a clear message that this is not just another fight - it's a statement to the world that Ugandan boxing is ready for the global spotlight.

"The belt is here - it's real, it's tangible, and it's ours to fight for," said Ziso Promotions in a joint statement. "This is not just a title; it's a statement to the world that Ugandan boxing is ready for the global limelight."

Kiwalabye, with a professional record of 18 wins (14 KOs) in 20 fights, is determined to seize this opportunity and add the WBU title to his impressive resume. Having held the ABU Africa Bantamweight Title in 2022, "Black Fire" views this bout as the next chapter in his legacy. "I've never stopped training. I've always been ready," Kiwalabye said at a recent press conference. "The arrival of the belt is a reminder that greatness is within reach. I didn't come back to participate - I came back to conquer."

The Tanzanian challenger, Karim Kisairo, is expected to arrive in Uganda in the coming days, with both fighters scheduled for an official face-off and weigh-in before fight night. With the WBU belt now in Uganda and anticipation building, Uganda's boxing fans are gearing up for a showdown that could etch Frank Kiwalabye's name permanently in the annals of international boxing.
