Arrow Bwoy accepts Shakib’s request for a boxing match
Singer Arrow Bwoy has confirmed that he is ready to face Ugandan boxer and husband to socialite Zarina Hassan, Shakib Cham Lutaaya, in a celebrity boxing match.

He said the opportunity had long been on his mind, describing it as a moment he had been yearning for and noting that the challenge had finally presented itself.
“I was just scrolling through my social media on Instagram and saw a post that this guy from Uganda, Shakib, is trying to challenge any Kenyan artiste for a boxing match. Let me tell you, I have been yearning for this, and now the opportunity has presented itself. I am fully ready for the challenge,” he said.
He added that while he is fully prepared for the fight, he urged Shakib not to bring Zari Hassan along, cautioning that she might faint during the match after witnessing the thrashing he would get.
He described such a scenario as a potential double tragedy and urged him to heed his advice.
He also made it clear that his focus is entirely on the ring and the competition, stressing that Zari should also make the decision not to attend the match on her own.
“My message to Shakib is, please do not bring your wife, Zari Hassan, because she might faint, and we could have a double tragedy. I do not want that to happen to this beautiful lady. Zari, if you are hearing this, just send your husband to come and collect the beating himself,” Arrow Bwoy added.
The challenge from Arrow Bwoy follows Shakib’s appearance on the Three Truths No Lie podcast, where he openly expressed his desire to face a Kenyan celebrity in the ring.
The invitation came just days after Shakib suffered a dramatic knockout loss in Uganda during a celebrity boxing match against singer Rickman, a defeat that left his wife Zari in tears.
Shakib had stated on the podcast that he was seeking a serious fight with high-profile Kenyan personalities, suggesting that such a bout would generate significant attention and entertainment.
Among the suggested potential opponents were Khaligraph Jones, Willy Paul, and Eric Omondi, with Shakib emphasising that the fight had to be taken seriously and that training was essential.
“Kenyan promoters out there, if you know that there is anybody that I can challenge in a boxing match, let’s make it happen,” Shakib had said.
