Bwogi, popularly referred to as the ‘Mayweather of Uganda’ will be aiming for the national title after winning it all in the junior category.

Speaking about the bout, Bwogi is confident of beating Magumba, a member of the Uganda Police Boxing Club, whom he says, he has defeated before in junior ranks.
“I know he is going to regret why he accepted to fight me”, he says.
Magumba promised to defeat Bwogi before the sixth round in the 10-round title fight.
However, Bwogi laughs at the utterance, confident of his crowning moment as a national champion.
“My opponent Magumba Ivan looked too beautiful and shining with a serious turfed face promising the crowd to knock me down less than in six (6) rounds. Good luck boss in your dreams”.
