British boxer headbutted by Idi Amin’s grandson in crazy Commonwealth Games clash

Crazy scenes as Idi Amin’s grandson disqualified from Commonwealth Games for head-butt

Aziz Abdul disqualified in mad match with Damar Thomas

The Commonwealth Games debut of Idi Amin’s grandson, Aziz Abdul, ended in disgrace as the boxer was disqualified in the third round for head-butting his English opponent, Damar Thomas.

The disgraced boxer then launched a bitter verbal assault on the referee.

Things took an even more bizarre turn as Abdul, a 25-year-old from Uganda, refused to speak to a journalist afterwards because of what he had written about the tyrannical dictator, Idi Amin, who is estimated to have killed half a million people in Uganda after coming to power in a coup d’état in 1971, and also forced the expulsion of 80,000 people of Asian descent.

“No, not you,” Abdul told the man from the Press Association. “I don’t like you.” A Ugandan team official quickly clarified that, “It is because of the things you said about his grandad.”

However, Abdul controversially insisted before his super-heavyweight fight with the 21-year-old southpaw Thomas, from Kilburn, that his grandfather’s achievements “had inspired me” and he also outrageously claimed “I am so proud of him”.

Abdul, who is also known as Aziz Ringo after his self-titled signature punch, also promised he would be “the new king of Scotland” – after his grandfather had offered to liberate the Scots from England. However, the most Scottish thing about Abdul proved to be the 'Glasgow kiss' he planted on Thomas when he was trailing 20-16 down on the scorecards. Afterwards he audaciously complained that the decision was unfair.

Abdul raged, “There were a lot of fouls,” he said. “Holding, elbowing, a lot of bullshit. The officials cannot judge them. When other countries do this they are disqualified. All I can say about this is the referee’s decision is not right and I am not happy.”

Abdul also criticised the official for ruling that he had been knocked down in the first round, after taking a punch. “He took a light punch and they counted,” he said. “I landed a heavy punch on him and they deducted my points and warned me. I’m a black African, I know. It’s God’s plan. I don’t know why the officials are scared about this fight. Why can’t they let this fight continue?”

He also insisted he had not deliberately head-butted his opponent, “He got me with the elbow. It was not intentional because I was trying to come back. How can I head-butt someone? I would not head-butt someone.

“When I was still in Uganda, I said I must win by knockout. It’s an away match for me here. Next time I must end the fight in the first minute.

“Next time, I will get him,” he threatened. “Anytime in the future. Two years, five years, 10 years. I will show him that Aziz Ringo is a real warrior. It’s so painful.”

Londoner Damar Thomas, meanwhile, is now guaranteed a winner's medal after the wild fight, with lots of windmills and very little quality.

“I got the job done,” the victor boasted, then added, “Not how I wanted to, but the job is done. He was running at me with his head. There was a bit of ring rust from me, but it is what it is.”
