In January 2019, Kiwanuka put pen to paper on a five year employment contract with Great Strikers.

Kiwanuka confirmed that he part ways with the promotion company owned by Sam Buchanan earlier this year.

During his time at Great Strikers, Kiwanuka has faced off with experienced opponents such as Thamsanqa Dube and South African Chris Thompson.
Last year in July, Kiwanuka beat Argentine Nestor Fabian Insaurralde in 20 seconds during the Universal Boxing intercontinental heavyweight title fight.
Kiwanuka was trolled on social media and his promoters following his victory against the Argentine who seemed unwilling to fight and even never landed a single blow.
