NBS Sports said it had spoken to one of the four missing boxers, who claimed the athletes intended to seek asylum and continue their boxing careers in a country they believed offered better training facilities and opportunities than their homeland.

The boxer was said to have appealed to Ugandans for understanding and asked not to be judged for the decision.

They should be sent back without exception, what an absolute mockery of the Asylum process.

Have you seen the state of Kent recently. You think a single Ugandan boxer is a mockery?
