Barista Timo Next as Shakib Eyes Boxing Redemption

Shakib Cham Lutaaya says the comeback starts now.

Months after a knockout loss to Rickman Manrick at Lugogo Arena on August 31, 2025, Shakib is back in training and already calling his next shot.

The socialite-turned-celebrity boxer has lined up content creator Barista Timo and is promising a sharper, hungrier version of himself.

Alright, folks! You know what is coming? A match like no other! Lost a match in 2025? Nah, that was just a pit stop. 2026 is my year, and Timo is going to feel the heat. I am not just coming for him, I am coming for that title. Been grinding, been training, and I am sharper than ever. Do not count me out, count me in. Let us make this unforgettable!

The when and where are still a mystery.

But this clash marks Shakib’s third celebrity boxing outing, with his debut ending in a win over media personality JK Kazoora at the MTN Arena on October 12, 2024.
