Armenian Boxer also Defects
BREAKING NEWS: Last week, Boxingtalk reported that the Ugandan Bombers, the amateur boxing team competing in the World Championships in Chicago, received 24/7 bodyguards and chaperones to make sure that no team members could defect. The bodyguards were assigned to the Ugandan team after two Egyptian boxers reportedly defected soon after they arrived in the U.S. last week. The Ugandan government was seemingly nervous because of former IBF jr middleweight champion Kassim Ouma’s defection in 1998. Now, captain Sharif Bogere and team mate Phillip Adyak have vanished from their boxing camps in Chicago. The two fighters were last seen Wednesday evening. Source: New Vision Uganda     Â
