A former World Boxing Federation (WBF) title holder, Bashiru Ali, popularly known as Bash Ali, has appealed to the Federal Government to support him in the staging of a world-record boxing fight to be hosted by Nigeria.
Mr. Ali who staged a protest at the headquarters of the Peoples Democratic Party in Abuja in pursuit of his bid was on Tuesday, locked out of the premises, alongside his supporters. His efforts to get the Federal Government to support him in staging a Guinness Book of World Record bout have so far proved abortive. This led him to undertake a trip to Libya to seek the help of the late Muammar Gaddafi.
