What would you do if you met former world boxing champion Mike Tyson? Arm-wrestle him or simply enjoy a picture shoot with him and then ask for an autograph? Well, save all your answers because the record-breaking pugilist will be coming to Uganda this September.

Tyson will be in Kampala to co-host Henry Tigan's album launch slated for September 5. This is according to US-based music promoter Suudi Lukwago - Tigan's promoter.

During a telephone interview with this reporter, Suudi, the proprietor of Suudi Entertainment International, said he talked to Tyson and the fighter agreed to travel to Uganda for the event.

"We signed a deal that will see Tyson host part of Henry Tigan's album launch," he said adding: "I've talked to all artistes Tigan has duets with and they have all agreed to come and support their African brother in September, but above all a very big surprise musician will perform at the show," he says.
