Idi Amin’s grandson disqualified at Commonwealth Games after headbutt and bias claims
- Idi Amin‘s grandson, Aziz Abdul, was disqualified from his opening super-heavyweight boxing bout at the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow.
- Abdul was penalised three times for fouls, including a headbutt against England’s Damar Thomas, leading to his removal midway through the third and final round.
- Following his disqualification, Abdul raged at officials, accusing them of bias and suggesting racial discrimination, stating, ‘I am a black African, I know. I don’t why the officials are scared about this fight.’
- Abdul, who had arrived with the ambition to become ‘the new king of Scotland’, had been losing on the scorecards before receiving his final warning for the headbutt.
- His grandfather, Idi Amin, a former boxer, famously declared himself the ‘King of Scotland’ in 1976, a claim that later inspired the Oscar-winning film ‘The Last King Of Scotland’.
