Ugandan boxer Aziz Abdul (25), grandson of dictator Idi Amin, was disqualified at the Commonwealth Games after headbutting his English opponent Demar Thomas in the third round. Abdul claimed the judges discriminated against him because he is a "black African" and that his opponent committed uncounted fouls. He had received warnings in the previous two rounds and was trailing on points. Abdul was trying to win Uganda's first boxing medal at the Games since 1990. Before the fight, he hinted at wanting to become the new "King of Scotland," referencing his grandfather's 1976 declaration. Abdul, who never met his grandfather, said he was inspired by Amin but refused to answer whether he is proud to be his grandson.
