RETIRED professional boxer Justin ‘The Ugandan Destroyer’ Juuko will donate 10% of proceeds from his video to the troubled Uganda Amateur Boxing Federation (UABF).
Juuko will launch a two-hour video dubbed ‘The best of Justin ‘Ugandan Destroyer’ Juuko’ in London, UK on August 25.
Juuko hopes to sell 3000 copies of his DVD in UK at 10 pounds (sh30,000) each which will gross sh90m, 10% of which will go to the UABF coffers.
He will also sell 1000 copies at $20 (sh37,000) each in the United States where he expects to reap about sh37m.
“I am happy with National Council of Sports (NCS) for moving in to clean up UABF. The little funds I will raise will facilitate activities of the new leadership that will come in soon. Boxing is one of Uganda’s biggest medal prospects at international championships and it needs everyone’s support,†Juuko said from London.
Juuko said he would show his video across the country on a 10-feet projector when he returns next month.
The video features Juuko’s best 26 rounds dating back from the Commonwealth title fight in 1996.
