Uganda’s Ouma, 25-5-1, 15 KOs, who, because of his relationship with Moran, describes himself as “Black Irish,” will take on an opponent TBD. Ouma was recently the subject of a documentary entitled “Kassim the Dream,” which chronicles his life, from being a kidnapped child soldier in Uganda to his ultimate defection and rise to world champion.
Fighting in separate 8-round bouts in co-features are jr. middleweight James Moore (16-1, 10 KOs), a native of County Wicklow, Ireland, who fights out of New York, and middleweight Simon “Slick Fighting Irish” O’Donnell (6-1, 3 KOS), a native of County Galway who fights out of Philadelphia.
