The grandson of the late Ugandan President Idi Amin lost his temper again, leading to his disqualification from the final of the African boxing championship in the Kenyan capital, Nairobi.
Aziz Abd, known by the nickname "Ringo," threw a wild punch at Egyptian boxer Mohamed Hussein after the bell rang to end the round in the 90-kilogram weight category, resulting in his immediate disqualification and stripping of his silver medal.
Aziz faced the same fate at the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, Scotland, last July, where he was disqualified for headbutting his English opponent, Damar Thomas, in their opening match.
The 25-year-old Ugandan boxer entered that match in Glasgow declaring his intention to become the "new King of Scotland," referring to a title his grandfather used to call himself.
It is noted that Idi Amin took over the presidency of Uganda in 1971, and during his 8-year rule, hundreds of thousands of people were killed, and Amin expelled all residents of Asian descent from the country before being overthrown and exiled.
Aziz had rebelled against the officials following his match at the Commonwealth Games, accusing the organizers of bias and racism against Africans, according to the British news agency (PA Media).
In his match in Nairobi, while the two boxers were in a clinch, Aziz broke away from his Egyptian opponent as the final bell rang, then delivered a punch to the back of Mohamed Hussein's head while the latter turned away, causing him to fall to the ground.
The incident sparked outrage among the Egyptian boxer's team, and it ended with the announcement of Mohamed Hussein's victory, while Aziz had already left the ring.
