Musa Ntege is a Ugandan professional boxer who competes in the cruiserweight division. He is best known for winning and defending the East & Central Africa Cruiserweight Title.

Early life

Ntege comes from Nansana, Wakiso District, Uganda, and has combined boxing with work outside the sport, including employment in an abattoir.[1]

Professional career

Debut and rise

Ntege made his professional debut in 2015. By 2019 he had established himself as a strong regional contender, claiming the East & Central Africa Cruiserweight Title after defeating Tanzanian Paul Kamatha in Dar es Salaam.[2]

Title defenses

He defended the title against Tanzanian Imani Kawaya in 2022, and later against Shaban Hamadi Jongo on 4 November 2022, winning by technical knockout in the sixth round.[3]

Continental challenges

In March 2023, Ntege fought former IBO super middleweight champion Thomas Oosthuizen in South Africa for the vacant African Boxing Union Cruiserweight Title, but lost by first-round stoppage.[4]

Later that year, he faced Syrian-German boxer Mohammed Bekdash in Abu Dhabi but was defeated by technical knockout after 1:38 of the first round. Ntege later denied claims that the fight had been "sold".[5]
