GUINEA’S KO’d BOXER MAMADOU DIALLO IN ACTION AGAIN TODAY
Despite being KO’d by Tunisia’s Hamza Khazri, Guinea’s middleweight Mamadou Diallo is back in action again today in the ongoing circus that is the Africa Youth Boxing Championships in Conakry, Guinea.
Merchants of impunity allowed the Guinean boxer to continue appearing in the tournament which is a gross violation of IBA’s rule on KO.
Diallo should not be allowed into the ring for his fight against South Africa’s Sangoni Mighty.
IBA rules clearly state once a boxer is KO’d he or she must rest for a specific period as recommended by the doctor.
Now suppose he’s KO’d again what happens next? The organisers are dangerously exposing the young boxer.
Meanwhile, Tunisia’s three female boxers who had no opponents after the draw are in the ring today against hand-picked unregistered boxers from a local club in Guinea.
Lightweight Molka Khelifi meets Fatoumata Camara, welterweight Haddaji Alma battles Rainatou Diallo and flyweight Khorchfi Chema fights Mariama Keita.
Taking into account the three Guinean boxers were not in the entry check list, it’s baffling whether they’re involved in friendly bouts or the actual competition itself.
IBA is already aware about the anomalies in the Guinea event. Whether they will use the big stick remains to be seen.
Uganda’s sole representative in Guinea, bantamweight Mwenda Joshua is also in action today against Libya’s Kesher Mohamed.
