TO spice up a professional boxing show in Jinja tomorrow, a female under-card bout has been included on the fights.

Undefeated Hawa Daku making a third appearance, faces the stylish Nantongo Mulinde in what promises to be an interesting bantamweight contest. Nantongo, on her second outing, is also undefeated.

“People in Jinja are eager to see girls battle in the ring. They had a sparring session here and there are all indications of a great fight,” promoter Shariff Sekikubo said.

The event that will take place at Cool Breeze will be preceded by a press conference to be addressed by boxers from Kenya and Uganda today.

The main fight has super middleweight Mivule Kitooke (pictured) taking on Kenyan Mohammed Orungi while Adam Kassim faces Kenyan Andrew Samba in an eight-round lightweight contest.

In the super featherweight, Muddu Nsubuga will be up against Frank Komakech while Festus Omondi will take on Jinja based John Muzeyi.

Nsamba Walumbe faces Kenyan Charles Dama in an eight round super bantamweight bout.
The event is organised and sponsored by Sherehe Boxing Promotions.
