Uganda’s professional boxing scene is set for a nostalgic and historic showdown as veteran boxer Kabona Medi returns to face fellow Ugandan fighter Ken “Mexco” on 30th May 2026 at Club Obligato in Kampala.

The much-anticipated fight, organized by Nara Promotionz, is already attracting major attention because of the long history surrounding Kabona Medi and the significance of his return to face another Ugandan opponent after nearly eight years.

Kabona Medi Returns to Face a Ugandan Again

Kabona Medi last fought a Ugandan boxer on 26th December 2018, when he stopped Uganda’s top-rated fighter at the time, Badru Lusambye, with a dramatic 7th-round knockout.

That victory became one of the memorable moments in Uganda’s professional boxing scene, and since then, Medi has not shared the ring with another Ugandan opponent until now.

Now at 46 years old, Medi returns carrying massive experience and dangerous punching power.

Ken Mexco Ready to Defend His Ground

Mexco’s last defeat in Uganda came in 2022 when he narrowly lost to Ronald Miiro by split decision. Since then, he has stayed unbeaten on Ugandan soil and continues to prove his toughness and ring intelligence.

Kabona Medi’s Advantage

Kabona Medi enters this bout with the clear advantage of experience and knockout power.

Having competed in 40 professional fights, Medi has faced different styles and pressure situations over many years. His 20 knockout victories prove that even at 46, he remains a dangerous finisher capable of ending fights suddenly.

He also carries confidence from his famous knockout victory over Badru Lusambye back in 2018.

Ken Mexco’s Advantage

Ken Mexco’s biggest strength is recent local activity and momentum.

Unlike Medi, who has spent years without facing a Ugandan opponent, Mexco has remained active within the local boxing environment and understands the current pace and conditions of Uganda’s professional scene.

Mexco also enters the contest highly motivated to stop Medi’s comeback story and continue protecting his unbeaten run in Uganda since 2022.
