Idi Amin’s boxing grandson vows to be ‘new king of Scotland’ at Commonwealth Games

• Aziz Abdul faces England’s Damar Thomas in +90kg category

• ‘I will be the baddest man in the Commonwealth’

England super-heavyweight Damar Thomas must overcome the grandson of Idi Amin, the former Ugandan dictator and self-proclaimed “King of Scotland”, if he is to progress into the medal rounds of Commonwealth Games boxing competition in Glasgow on Wednesday.

Aziz Abdul, known as “Ringo”, is not shy of his family connection to Amin, a brutal military dictator who seized power in 1971, killing up to 500,000 people and expelling Uganda’s entire Asian population before he was deposed and sent into exile eight years later.
