Kenyans miss out as Ugandans shine in ‘Umeme’ night
Tanzania’s Ali Dongo (right) fights against Uganda’s Sadat Segawa in the Super Bantamweight bout during the 12 Sports Round Promotion event at Charter Hall on May 24, 2025.
Initially, 12 Sports Rounds Promotions legal officer Joshua Sewankambo had indicated that the two failed to get opponents, but it appears disagreements over pay were at the heart of the withdrawals.
Sewankambo assured fans that the promotion will return in a few months with more competitive matchups, having secured a KPBC license.
Algerian boxer Adam Belalia warmed up for the Africa Boxing Union (ABU) title shot with a resounding first-round knock-out on Saturday night during the 12 Sports Rounds Promotion event dubbed ‘Umeme Night, Hakuna Mchezo’ at Charter Hall in Nairobi.
Belalia delivered a barrage of punches to Uganda’s Fred Okuo, prompting referee Julius Odhiambo to stop the middleweight bout in the opening round.
