One of Uganda’s greatest boxers of all time, Kassim ‘The Dream’ Ouma has disclosed that in his prime, he enjoyed an overflow of cash and women.

The 43-year-old had his prime in early 2000 up to around 2006. Ouma left Uganda in 1997 when the Uganda National Amateur team travelled to the U.S.A to participate in the World Military Boxing event.

Ouma who was in the army then, deserted the army (A.W.O.L). He chose to stay in the U.S to boast his boxing career.

“I escaped from the airport and went to Washington DC. I first worked as a delivery agent for some Pizza company as I searched for a nearby gym,” said Ouma during a YouTube interview on journalist Ibra Mukasa’s Extra Digest channel.

It is in Washington DC that Ouma landed on a gym where many boxers used to work out from.

“Several boxers loved sparring with me since I was hard,” he said.

Fortunately, it did not take so long for Ouma to kick start his professional career. The first title that he won was the IBF (International Boxing Federation) Junior Middleweight World title.

From there he enjoyed dominance of about four years.
