The punching bags had become soft for me. Even this tree is not strong enough. Every time I kicked it, it was bleeding. So I had to wrap it with pampers because my kicks are too strong,&#8221; the comical Golola said, referring to the rubber tubes that had been wrapped around one of the trees. &#8220;I don&#8217;t know what this Sudanese guy is going to do.&#8221; Qadir, his manager Pulo Okello and a delegation, including the Southern Sudan Sports Minister were expected at Entebbe Airport last evening aboard a chartered plane.<\/p>\n<p>Monitor Publications, Hared Petroleum, Pinnacle Security, Dmark Mobile, Turbo Rayz Entertainment and Hotel Africana are sponsoring the fight. Tickets will be sold at the entrance for Shs25,000 (VIP) and Shs10,000 (ordinary).
