Lubega said he is not about  to give up on boxing.

"I will be telling you my next move but what my funs need to know is that am here to stay and more fights will be announced. They should expect more from me because am not to retire soon," said Lubega.

Sponsors A&B Promotions, Urban TV, Fenon Events among others pledged to keep the sport moving on and promote the standards of boxers.
