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.

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.

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.

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.

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".
