FORMER world junior middleweight champion Kassim “The Dream†Ouma, has finally landed a fight this year after turning down one and having another cancelled.
Ouma has signed a contract to fight undefeated American Sergio “The Latin Snake†Mora on September 15 at the MGM Grand, Las Vegas, Nevada.
The Florida based Ouma has once again moved up the weights, to the 160 pounds (Middleweight division).
The flashy Ugandan pugilist who last fought in this division in December against WBC and WBO middleweight champion Jermain “Bad Intentions†Taylor, will come up against a much taller opponent once again, standing at 6’ 0.
Ouma’s opponent goes for the fight with a record of 19(4 KOs) 0-0.
Mora is ranked number five by the World Boxing Council in the 160 pound division.
Ouma was in the country in April together with his manager Tom Moran who has been looking for a fight for the talented boxer.
The former IBF junior middleweight champion turned down a support fight on the Bernard Hopkins/Winky Wright clash that is slated for July 15.
Ouma declined because his promoters Golden Boy promotions were giving him little money.
Ouma also had a planned fight against another American Ishe “Sugar Shay†Smith, fall through after Smith mutually cut his contract with Golden Boy promotions recently after falling to agree on some issues.
