Ugandan Boxer Aziz Abdul Kicked Out of Commonwealth Games

In a shocking turn of events, Aziz Abdul, the grandson of former Ugandan dictator Idi Amin, has been disqualified from the ongoing Commonwealth Games. The 25-year-old boxer was competing in the 90+kg category when he allegedly headbutted his opponent, Damar Thomas from England. Following the incident, Abdul expressed his dissatisfaction with the judges' decision, claiming that they were biased against him because of his African heritage. 'When you watch the previous fights of England, their boxers create a lot of fouls,' he said. 'I land a heavy punch on him, they never count. Instead of counting, they deduct me. I am a black African. He is in his homeland.' Abdul had earlier stated his desire to become the 'King of Scotland', a title his grandfather had adopted in 1976. Idi Amin, known for his brutal regime, had declared himself the 'King of Scotland' during his rule. Abdul's disqualification has now paved the way for Thomas to secure at least a bronze medal. Thomas, however, expressed that this was not the way he wanted to win. 'I can't change what happened today, but I can control how I box on Friday,' he said. Abdul's dream of winning Uganda's first Commonwealth boxing medal since 1990 has been shattered, at least for now.
