Uganda’s hard puncher Ssalongo Muhammad Ssebyala has vowed to defend his Global Boxing Federation (GBF) middleweight title for a third consecutive time.

Ssebyala alias ‘Meddie Kabona’ takes on Malawi’s Charles Misanjo in a marathon main card ten round thriller at Club Obligato along Bombo Road in Kampala.

“My number one target is to make history by defending my title for a third straight time. With this in my sight, I’m not giving this Malawian any chance, not even getting close to this belt,” Ssebyala told Vision Sport.

“I have done my preparation well and my fans are tos witness the best out of me. My plan is to finish business as soon as possible. This Malawian won't go past the third round.”

Sebyala-Misanjo's duel will be a battle of experience.

While Ssebyala, an Imam at Masjid Noor Mosque in Bwaise III boasts of 38 pro fights, winning 22 with 19 knockouts before losing 15 and drawing once, Misanjo has a mammoth 56 pro fights.

Of the 56, the Malawian has 31 wins, 24 defeats before drawing once and ranks ahead of Ssebyala in terms of ring experience.

But Ssebyala who has previously twice defended his GBF title against DRC’s Nelson Mangala and Tanzania’s Ally Hamisi Mzeei is unfazed by Misanjo's experience.

The event organised by Uganda Sports Promotions and Step by Step Promotions will have over 20 fights lined up on the day.

Another blockbusters will see Kasim ‘The Dream’ Ouma’s adopted son, middleweight Henry Kasujja ‘Stopper’ taking on Olympian and Africa Boxing Union (ABU) DRC’s sensation David Tshama.

Kasujja who is currently ranked 6th by ABU says he is more than ready for Tshama.

“I have before humbled both Olympians, ABU and WBC-USA former champions. Tshama is also going to bow before me."

Some undercard fights will see Farouk and Andaman Daku’s younger brother Ahmed Daku defending his national super light title against rising star, Bob Turyatemba.
