Zebra Ssenyange Jr ready for Egyptian Magdi

Fast rising Ugandan boxer Isaac Zebra Ssenyange Jr is confident of recording his third straight knockout in professional come this Saturday, March 2nd against Egyptian Ramy Magdi.

The two will battle at the Yas Marina Link golf course island in Dubai, UAE in a super welterweight six round non title contest.

Their fight will be broadcast on DAZN Boxing and ESPN.

Ssenyange Jr who has adapted to life into professional boxing with ease is optimistic he has all it takes to record his third KO in the paid ranks.

“I’m here to set records. My target is to win all my first 15 pro fights by knockout. It is what I’m to serve my fans this weekend” Ssenyange Jr who landed in Dubai last week vowed.

“Magdi isn’t the first Egyptian opponent I’m facing. This means I’m used to them and I have an edge over him.

With the overwhelming reception I received plus the fans I have in Dubai, this is an easy win for me”   

Since his pro debut on December 29th, last year, Ssenyange Jr, son of former Uganda boxing legend Zebra Ssenyange has won all his first two fights.

Against Magdi, Musa Batantu, a former national boxer and now a certified WBC International technical officer based in Dubai will be in his corner.

Batantu has been taking Ssenyange Jr in training drills at his Round 10 boxing gym in Dubai and believes his fighter is in good shape to defeat Magdi.

“My role was to polish Zebra on a few things before taking on Magdi. He is fit enough and in good shape for the fight.

The Big Bang promotions signed boxer opened up his account with a second-round knockout over Tanzania’s veteran fighter Ramdhani Alibaba Tarimo before stopping Egyptian Abrahem Kandel within two minutes of the first round on January 13th, 2024.

By experience, his opponent Magdi beats Ssenyange Jr bossing with six professional fights winning three, drawing once before losing two.
