UGANDA’S Junior middleweight star Kassim “The Dream†Ouma’s dream has finally come true.
The Florida based pugilist has finally landed a world title shot.
He will fight for the vacant International Boxing Federation (IBF) belt after World champion Ronald “Winky†Wright was stripped for not challenging the Ugandan.
He will now fight contender number two American Verno Phillips for the IBF crown on June 5 at a venue yet to be established.
Ouma is currently Uganda’s top professional fighter.
