The highly anticipated Uganda National Boxing Intermediates 2025 kicked off today, Saturday, January 25, with the official weigh-in and medical examinations for all participants.
This competition, that will run from January 27 to February 3, 2025, promises to showcase some of Uganda’s finest boxing talent, with the country’s top contenders vying for spots in future boxing leagues and championships.
The Event: What’s at Stake?
The Uganda National Boxing Intermediates serves as a critical second qualifier for boxers aiming to participate in the prestigious Uganda Boxing Champions League (UBCL).
While the National Open is the first step for boxers looking to make it to the Champions League, the Intermediates provide another chance for fighters to prove their skill and secure a place in the competition that kicks off its fourth season in April 2025.
Beyond the immediate prestige of competing in the Champions League, the Intermediates is also an important stepping stone for boxers aspiring to represent Uganda at international levels.
The Champions League is the only competition where members of Uganda’s National Team, the Bombers, are selected. This makes the Intermediates a critical part of the pipeline for future national team athletes.
What to Expect: The Boxing Action
The ring action officially begins on Monday, January 27, marking the start of intense boxing bouts that will unfold over the coming days.
With the competition running through February 3, 2025, spectators can expect to see fierce and exciting matchups as boxers look to advance to the next stage of their careers.
This competition will feature a range of weight categories, with each fighter eager to secure their spot in the Uganda Boxing Champions League.

The Bigger Picture: The Uganda Boxing Champions League
The Uganda Boxing Champions League is the pinnacle of domestic boxing in the country.
Set to begin its fourth season in April 2025, the League brings together the best boxers in Uganda to compete for national glory and the opportunity to represent the nation on the international stage.
