News coming in states that former
Cruiserweight Champion Bash Ali has been
hospitalized after getting into a fight with
security men.

However Ali is said to have been protesting outside
of Nigeria-Export Import Bank (NEXIM) demanding
the bank to provide N150 million to facilitate the
hosting of Bash Ali’s Guinness book of World Record fight project. Bash Ali was said to have camped at the headquarters of Nigeria Export-Import Bank (NEXIM) yesterday with his fellow supporters.

He was invited in to a meeting with the bank Managing Director Mr. Robert Orya, but Ali refused to attend and decided to to lay flat at the entrance of the bank, thus disrupting business and creating an ugly scene.


News247 says: Management of the bank denied his supporters entrance but he insisted that his
supporters must attend the meeting. This generated a fracas between him and the security before he was overpowered by the securitymen, who pushed him down and a vehicle climbed his legs.


Orya told journalists: “Please ask him what he is
doing there. I have explained to this man times
without number that NEXIM Bank does not have the
mandate to sponsor sporting activities”.


Bashiru Ali Lawrence is the only boxer in the world
who has won every cruiser weight title conceivable.
He also has the reputable record of never being
knocked out and has the best record in the
cruiserweight category. He was born on the 27th of
February 1956 in Lagos, Nigeria.
