Shakib Cham, husband to socialite Zari Hassan, is quickly building momentum in the corporate boxing scene after securing a knockout victory over Barista Timo during a weekend bout in Kansanga, Uganda.

The win marks another strong step for the businessman-turned-boxer, who has recently been gaining traction in Uganda’s fast-growing corporate boxing space. Riding high on confidence, Shakib is now setting his sights on bigger and more high-profile matchups.

Eyeing Celebrity Fights

Following his latest victory, Shakib revealed his interest in stepping into the ring with some of Uganda’s top entertainment figures, including Pallaso and Alien Skin.

He believes such matchups would not only generate buzz but also help elevate corporate boxing as a form of entertainment. According to him, Alien Skin’s known interest in boxing could make for an exciting and competitive fight.
