On April 24 at Prudential Center in Newark, NJ, Junior Middleweight, Kassim Ouma of Kampala, Uganda (26-5-1, 16 KO’s) will take on Troy Browning, of Philadelphia, PA (20-3-1, 8 KO’s) in what promises to be an exciting 10 round boxing match. The fight is the co-feature on a Main Event Boxing Series card that also features a 10 round battle between middleweights, John Duddy, of Derry, Ireland (26-0, 17 KO’s) and Billy Lyell from Warren, OH (18-7, 3 KO’s).
Ouma is no stranger to fighting both in and out of the ring. The engaging Uganda native’s life story was recently portrayed in a documentary which was produced in part by Forest Whitaker. In the film Kassim goes from Ugandan child soldier to world champion boxer. His tale of survival proves that against all odds, one can turn tragedy into inspiration. “Boxing is my therapy”, says Kassim.
Since its initial release the documentary has garnered rave reviews and has received numerous industry awards, including nomination by International Documentary Assoc. for Best Documentary Feature. Recently at the March 29th Ann Arbor Film Festival, “Kassim The Dream” received the Life Force Award, awarded to films of distinction and artistic accomplishment. A trailer of the film can be viewed at the “Kassim The Dream” film website. http://www.kassimthedream.com/ The film is due to open in theaters in late May.
When Kassim steps into the ring on April 24th to take on Troy Browning he intends to prove that his “therapy” is working to his advantage. He promises an action packed match, one he intends to win. “I’m excited to get back in the ring. I’ve been gone a long minute, working on the film. That’s been exciting, but now it’s time to get back to what I do best. I want the championship belt again. I have something to prove with this fight”, says Kassim.
See you at the Fights.
Thanks for your time.
