Glasgow: Dripping in sweat, Ugandan boxer Aziz Abdul delivered a solemn warning to his opponent, Damar Thomas.

“I will get him next time … … If not now, any time in the future, after five years or two years or 10 years ... I will show him that Aziz Ringo is a real warrior,” Abdul said.

It was part of an explosive post-fight interview during which the 25-year-old, who is the grandson of the late Ugandan dictator Idi Amin, pointed a bandaged fist at a reporter and said: “You I don’t like”. He also railed against his disqualification after a headbutting Thomas and racking up multiple fouls.

Abdul once proclaimed himself “the king of Scotland” and this heavyweight bout was one of the most anticipated of the Glasgow Commonwealth Games.

Amin, a former heavyweight boxer, ruled Uganda for eight years. Human rights groups say as many as 500,000 people were killed and the country’s Asian population expelled during that time, and he also presided over the country’s economic collapse. He was forced out in 1979 and was never tried for his crimes in an international court. He died in Saudi Arabia in 2003.

Abdul had courted media attention earlier this week by saying: “My grandfather’s achievements inspired me”, and declaring he wanted to become the “baddest man in the Commonwealth, the baddest man in Glasgow and the new king of Scotland”.

It took less than 10 minutes for the fight against Thomas, who is English, to descend into chaos.

Abdul’s ambition to take Commonwealth gold, it turns out, was very short-lived.

His disqualification for headbutting his opponent came during the third round, the referee’s decision prompting boos and jeers from his supporters in the crowd.

A fuming Abdul let loose in the media scrum, where he singled out the journalist he didn’t like.

** **He then spoke to a member of the Ugandan team, going back and forth before taking questions from journalists.

“That decision is not correct,” he said when asked for his reaction to the disqualification. “That decision was on one side.

“All I can say about this ... I’m not happy about the decision.”

Abdul then referred to his opponent by the n-word, before unleashing the warning that he would “get him” next time they meet in the ring.

During the match Abdul lunged at Thomas multiple times, prompting commentators to remark on his “scrappy” and “unorthodox style”.

The Ugandan was penalised for multiple fouls including one during round two, where he swung wildly and hit Thomas’ face several times. During round three of the fight, Abdul wrapped his red gloves around his opponent, and lifted his head into Thomas’ chin, prompting the disqualification.

Spectators started to leave after the disqualification was announced, but a group of Abdul’s supporters stood up in the corner and angrily shouted and booed.

Abdul approached Thomas after the disqualification pushing his face close to his, but the referee intervened and pushed the pair apart.

When asked to expand on why the disqualification for headbutting was unfair, Abdul said it had not been intentional and his opponent had elbowed him, among other infractions, multiple times throughout the fight. He said it was a trend among English fighters.

He said his opponent was favoured because he was on “home” soil and said he had landed heavy punches on Thomas that did not count.

“Instead of counting, they deduct my points, they warn me,” he said. “I’m a black African, OK ... I know, he’s in his homeland.”

He questioned why the officials were “scared about this fight”.

“Why couldn’t they let the fight continue,” he said. “What was wrong in the fight?”

Specifically asked if he was saying the judges had wanted Thomas to win, Abdul said “yes”.

“I don’t know [why]. Because he’s at home, he’s at f---ing home man.”

Abdul ended the interview by saying “it was God’s plan” and repeatedly wishing his opponent luck for the next match.

Thomas chose his words carefully in the media zone after the fight, with his minder telling journalists to “keep it about the boxing”.

“Like I said, I got the job done … the job is done,” he said.

Asked by this masthead what he had expected of the fight with Abdul, Thomas said: “Literally that. I didn’t expect anything else.”

Thomas added that he didn’t want the fight “to end like that” and it “was not how he wanted it to go”.
