Boxing
When boxing froze out of the Olympics
Odeke (R) needed only two rounds to finish off another Kenyan Joseph Ayeko (R) last December in only his second professional bout.

In Summary
Boxing. If Bogere wins a world title fight in 2013, he will be Uganda’s sixth world champion after John ‘The Beast’ Mugabi, Ayub Kalule, Cornelius ‘Boza’ Edwards, Kassim ‘The Dream’ Ouma and Jackson “Action” Asiku.
However, like many things in Uganda that are always a time bomb, the Zebra Ssenyange – Haruna Banabana fight left ugly scenes as the fight ended with no winner and several spectators escaping with injuries.
2013 offers the sport a chance to regain more international recognition and certainly heal more wounds along the way.
