Olympian Shadir Musa Bwogi is a happy man following his latest achievement bestowed on him by the Uganda Sports Press Association (USPA).

The sports journalists governing body through their monthly meeting voted Bwogi as the USPA/Nile Special Sports Personality for January at the Imperial royal hotel in Kampala.

The boxer knocked out Ivan Magumba to claim the national super middleweight title in a record time of two minutes and 51 seconds on 1st January 2023.

"Firstly I am happy that I have been named the USPA sports personality for January, I have always won the best boxer of the year award at the USPA gala but this monthly one is my first and special," Bwogi told Pulse Sports

"I went through a lot before my fight (against Magumba) some political but I told myself I have to focus and win because that's what counts and I did."

"I am currently back to serious training because I plan to have another fight in March or April with a foreign fighter because I want to challenge myself more especially now that I've dominated my fellow fighters here in Uganda," he added.

Bwogi who polled 260 votes defeated Mukono Women pool club, Waleed Omar and Itanda Kayakers who managed 205, 180 and 105 respectively.
