Hussein and Hassan are the driving forces behind the East Coast Boxing Club, located in the Naguru neighborhood of Uganda’s capitol city Kampala. At a young age Hussein and Hassan had a successful international boxing career. This motivated them to go back to their local community and to support young boxers who, despite the tough living conditions, want to pursue their dreams to be something.

In June 2017 the International Boxing Association (AIBA) hosted the exclusive online World Premiere of Hussein & Hassan. The AIBA is a non-profit international organization that succeeded the former Fédération Internationale de Boxe Amateur in 1946. AIBA is the sole worldwide governing body for the sport of boxing in all its forms, with 201 Member Federations. AIBA works on behalf of all levels of boxing, men and women, to reinvigorate the sport’s grass roots, develop youth and elite boxing and create new opportunities for semi-pro and pro-boxers. AIBA’s vision for boxing also embraces and adheres to the spirit and values of the Olympic Movement. With these values, AIBA ensures the highest levels of transparent standards including for all of our global competitions, rankings, judging and boxers’ remuneration.
