Muhangi's nomination was endorsed by the Boxing Independent Integrity Unit (BIIU) - Nomination Unit after meticulous scrutiny, ensuring that he met all the stringent criteria specified in Articles 27.6, 27.7, and 27.8 of the IBA Constitution. This approval paves the way for his participation in the highly anticipated AFBC Presidential Election.
The AFBC Presidential Election, scheduled for October 13, 2023, is poised to be a momentous occasion during the AFBC Extraordinary Congress, slated to convene in Durban, South Africa.
