ANXIETY is high as Titus Tugume takes on Moses Golola in the East and Central Africa Kick-boxing title at Freedom City, in Namasuba today.

It the first time that the two fighters will clash in a seven round super middleweight contest in the pain ranks. The low kick fight will settle a long time rivalry between the two sparring partners in the amateur ranks.

Challenger Tugume who last showed off with a coffin ahead of the fight has promised to pummel his opponent into submission.

“I think I am capable of taking this fight, even though I have a small injury. It has to end tomorrow (Friday),”

Tugume, who had a knee pad on his left leg vowed during the weigh-in yesterday. 

“You have for long heard of that the Hyena dreams to take the Lions’ teeth and power but it can’t, instead it is the previous which chases the latter each and every day. I am the lion and the king of the game so he will learn a bitter lesson,” Golola who has been in a training stint in Nairobi, Kenya fired back.

Golola who will be defending the title return after with a successful build up against Hungarian Betya Istan in April. 

That fight came after controversial World Kickboxing Federation (WKF) Inter-Continental title against another Hungarian Andras Nagy (RIP).

A bout 200 turned up to witness the weigh-in.
