Businesswoman and celebrated socialite Zari Hassan was left visibly distressed after her husband, Shakib Cham Lutaaya, suffered a knockout defeat to Ugandan musician Rickman Manrick at the much-hyped celebrity boxing match “The Kampala Rumble” on August 30, 2025, at the MTN Arena Lugogo in Kampala.

The bout, which had been generating buzz for weeks amid fiery verbal exchanges between the two rivals, drew a packed arena of excited fans eager for the showdown.

In a viral video, the match began with both men trading aggressive blows as they tried to assert dominance. But the fight ended much sooner than many had anticipated.

In the second round, Shakib appeared to drop his guard and was met with a crushing counterpunch from Rickman.

The blow sent Zari’s younger husband tumbling to the canvas, sparking shock, excitement, and disbelief among fans inside the arena.

The knockout moment, captured on camera, quickly went viral across social media platforms.

Some fans applauded Rickman — real name Derrick Ddungu — for his unexpected show of power, skill, and composure in the ring. Others mocked Shakib, creating memes of his dramatic fall and questioning his boxing ability.

Zari, dressed smartly at ringside, appeared shaken as she watched events unfold.

Videos showed her breathing heavily, with glassy eyes, as medical staff rushed to attend to her husband.

Shakib later regained his composure after receiving medical attention. His defeat, however, ignited debate among fans, with many questioning whether his pursuit of boxing as a career was the right path.

The celebrity boxing match was part of “The Kampala Rumble” series, an entertainment initiative that pits popular Ugandan public figures against each other in the ring. The clash between Shakib and Rickman had been one of the most anticipated, fueled by their long-running rivalry.

Kenyans on social media also joined the conversation. Ronald Okoth on Instagram quipped, “Iwe funzo kwa vijana wote wanajaribu kuimpress wamama, utakufa vibaya.” Another user, Moyann, noted, “She really cares about him… you can tell.” Roigi Brian added, “Coach wake hajamfunza kueka guard. Defense iko chini.”
