Socialite Shakib Cham has reignited the Kampala celebrity boxing buzz after publicly calling for a rematch against fitness coach and musician Rickman Manrick, months after suffering a humiliating knockout defeat.
The outspoken socialite, who was sent crashing to the canvas during the high-profile Kampala Celebrity Rumble in August, insists he is no longer haunted by the loss and is eager for another showdown.
“He is a strong man… but I am ready. Gimme Rickman again,” Shakib declared, boldly throwing down the gauntlet.
The August bout at Lugogo Arena drew massive attention and ended dramatically when Rickman delivered a brutal knockout that left fans shocked and Shakib’s partner, businesswoman and socialite Zari Hassan, visibly shaken with concern for his health.
Despite the painful loss and public embarrassment, Shakib appears fired up and hungry for revenge, with his latest comments fueling speculation about a possible rematch.
The big question now remains: will Rickman Manrick accept the challenge, or will cooler heads—possibly Zari herself—step in to prevent another explosive clash?
For now, all eyes remain on the ring as fans eagerly wait to see whether this celebrity rivalry is headed for round two. 🥊
