Legendary kickboxer Golola feted, as World Cup bound Bogere receives second real star award

Uganda’s Kickboxing legend Moses “Of Uganda” Golola has been recognized with a life time achiever’s award by the management of Real Stars Sports Agency.

Golola was donned in the traditional bark cloth attire received his award at Lazio restaurant in Kololo on Tuesday, 13^th May 2025.

Best known for his strong jabs and kicks during bouts, Golola is also popular for his motor-mouth that has helped market the kickboxing sport and his personal brand as he has won a couple of endorsement deals including the cultural tourism role.

“It is sad that people that put much efforts into sports are not recognized by the Government. The Government must come up and support companies like Fortebet and Jude Colours solutions may be through tax waivering. We are representing the nation, therefore the government must prioritize us, It is sad to see government giving 100 of millions to politicians as a token of appreciation for  the bills passed yet they add little towards the development of the country” Golola pleaded as he received the plaque from Isaac Mukasa, the executive director of Real Stars Sports Agency.
