Shakib Silences Barista Timo with First Round Knockout at IUEA
Shakib Cham needed just one round to settle the talk.
The Ugandan socialite and celebrity boxer stopped TikTok personality Barista Timo in a fast and one-sided bout at the IUEA Auditorium.
From the opening bell, Shakib pressed forward and landed clean, heavy shots that forced an early finish before the fight could build.
Before the clash, both men had raised expectations. Shakib joked he would give away his Range Rover if he lost, while Timo confidently promised a stoppage inside two rounds. None of that played out once the punches started landing.
The fight night blended entertainment with real boxing, featuring earlier bouts from professional fighters that warmed up the crowd.
Fans followed the action live on NBS Sport 2 through the AfroMobile app, with strong viewership across Uganda.
Ringside, Zari Hassan reacted with tension at first, then celebration after the knockout. Music legend Jose Chameleone also watched from the front row.
The result puts Shakib firmly in control of the local celebrity boxing scene.
