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'.
