Over the weekend, Shakib took on media personality JK Kazoora in a physical fight at Lugogo Indoor Stadium and emerged the winner.
Now, NBS TV's Canary Mugume has come forward to challenge Shakib, claiming he can give him a run for his money and wants to beat him hands down.
"Naye nange Shakib musobola. Bamumpeemu," Canary wrote on his X handle.
Many people have expressed high hopes for Canary and have urged Zari's boyfriend, Shakib, to accept the challenge.
Muhangi, the president of the Uganda Boxing Federation, revealed in an earlier interview that he plans to use celebrity fights to bring the sport closer to the youth and empower it across the country.
