Amigo Promotions and Private Body Guards/ Ushers have launched the long awaited ‘Boxing Thriller in Afrigo Band’ fight, a non-titled tune-up fight.

Lukyamuzi dubbed the ‘Da Mexican’, has managed to record six wins (1 KO), one draw and three losses in his last ten main bouts.
Kigozi Richardson, the Amigo promotions Chief Executive Officer who also doubles as Lukyamuzi’s promoter was boastful of his Camp’s chances going into this fight.
“This fight is sanctioned by the Uganda Professional Boxing Commission (UPBC) and we are ready for it. The foreign fighter has been paid and has already signed a contract with us. We expect nothing but action and we call upon all fans you to attend in big numbers,” he said.
The Uganda Professional Boxing Commission that sanctioned the fight was represented by Katongole Simon (Vice President) and Abbey Mugai.
Middleweight fighter Lukyamuzi signaled preparedness prior to his rumble with the Malawian.
“I’m very ready and prepared to battle with my Malawian opponent. I’m so thankful to my promoter and I urge my fans not to have any worry in me. I will come with a technical Knockout strategy and hopefully win the fight. I’m a solid fighter and will prove my resilience come June,” he said.
Lukyamuzi will also aim at bouncing back from his previous defeat to Waiswa Juma.
Lukyamuzi’s opponent Makawa is an experienced opponent who has registered 14 wins, 12 losses and one draw from his previous 27 bouts.
