Ebong stands alone as Uganda's sole gold hopeful in DR Congo

The quest for international boxing glory in the heart of the Democratic Republic of Congo rests entirely on the shoulders of a single Ugandan contender. As the tournament intensifies, Ebong remains the lone pugilist from Uganda actively hunting for the ultimate prize in his division.

However, the path to the podium is fraught with immense challenges. Local powerhouse Peter Mpita Kabeji stands as a major roadblock in Ebong’s championship campaign. Regarded by analysts as a severe acid test for the visiting Ugandan, Kabeji brings formidable skill, home support, and tactical prowess into the squared circle.

Despite the daunting odds and the hostile away atmosphere, the Ugandan camp remains optimistic about Ebong’s chances. His rigorous preparation and previous international outings have equipped him with the resilience needed to perform under intense pressure.

Boxing enthusiasts back home are tuning in closely as Ebong prepares for this defining career moment. A victory against Kabeji would not only secure a spot in the finals but also send a resounding statement across the regional boxing landscape.
