The professional fight between Ugandan boxers Zebra Ssenyange "Mando" and Haruna Ddiba "Banabana" last night
ended in chaos and was cancelled with no winner decided.
The two fighters had been involved in verbal wars prior to the fight with each threatening to kill the other in the ring. They were contesting for the Uganda Boxing Union (UBU) heavyweight tittle and the winner would have received a short at the WBO intercontinental tittle fight early next year.
A few minutes after midnight, the long awaited fight started on a good note. However after some minutes, the fight switched from being a game to real fighting.
Because of the unprofessional conduct of the boxers, the referee and the judging team decided to call off the game. This angered the fans of both sides who then turned chaotic. They started throwing bottles all over the place and by press time, the number of injuries recorded could not be ascertained.
Professional fighters are expected to behave in a professional manner while in the ring. Even if one has a grudge on the other, they are expected to follow the rules and do exactly what is expected of them.
