Golola talent academy begins in Mityana

Kickboxing World Champion, Moses Golola has started the Golola Talent Academy by training youths from Mityana and its suburbs saying he is focusing on boxing because it's the Olympic sport.

For a year, Golola has been preaching about starting the academy with the initial plan to launched at Namboole mid last year.

His dream became true at Mityana Ssaza ground, where over 20 youths have been training for a month awaiting the official launch of the project on May 29 as he fights Kenyan Waina Yina in a non-title light heavyweight contest.

 

He said the aim is to groom and open up gyms that will absorb youths in different sport disciplines like wrestling, taekwondo, karate among others.

He also said the program will be moved to other regions.

"I want to concentrate to boxing because I started there. I also want to have the Olympic sports targeted first because kickboxing is out. My dream is to see Ugandans win gold medals in the Olympics and many talented athletes remain up country un sported," said Golola.

He called on sponsors in various regions to sustain the camps he has stated forming so that the athletes can participate in the regional and national championships to be exposed at the national stature.
