Undefeated Ugandan born Minnesotan Ismail “The Sharp Shooter” Muwendo (17-0, 12 KO’s) will box this Friday night at the Downtown Las Vegas Event Center in Las Vegas, Nevada. Muwendo last fought in April of 2015, defeating then undefeated prospect Rolando Chinea. The year plus layoff comes after successful surgery on his arm to repair an old injury. Minnesotaboxing.com caught up with Muwendo last week at the pro boxing show in Minneapolis and Muwendo says he is healed and ready to resume his climb up the prospect ladder. Muwendo is set to face 29 year old Eliseo Cruz Sesma (9-1-1, 6 Ko’s) of Tuxtla Gutierrez, Chiapas, Mexico in a six round lightweight bout. The show is promoted by Roy Jones Jr. Promotions and being televised live on the CBS Sports Network. Two bouts are listed ahead of Muwendo’s fight and the Minnesotan says he will know later today if his fight will hit the airwaves.
