Kujali defeats Yorro in comedy boxing match
A boxing match designed for laughs lived as much as its billing at Pencha Mi Hall, as Kujali triumphed over Yorro in a hilariously unconventional bout that left the viewers in stitches.
Referee Kitabu blew the whistle to sign the beginning, and Kujali started with a spirited show of double jabs.
But the comedy shortly unfolded when Yorro’s overzealous punch precipitated chaos within the ring. Abandoning all boxing protocol, Kujali resorted to wrestling, forcing an amused however bemused Kitabu to intervene.
“Hold his hand before he hits me!” Kujali humorously begged the referee, to which Yorro protested, “why are you holding my hand?”
The second spherical introduced much more theatrics. Kujali accused Yorro of trying to “end his life” along with his lengthy punches, prompting Yorro’s coach, Assan, to name for a time-out because the exhausted fighter gasped for air.
Seizing the chance, Kujali’s coach, Bangali, advised an outlandish technique, the usage of a toy gun. With encouragement from assistant coach Bobbling, Kujali returned to the ring armed with the playful prop, sending Yorro and his coach fleeing in exaggerated panic.
The crowd erupted in laughter because the referee declared Kujali the winner.
The antics continued after the match, with Yorro and his coach returning to protest the outcome. In true comedic style, they tackled referee Kitabu, including one other layer of hilarity to the night.
The occasion, headlined by Gambian comedy troupe Bright Stars and that includes Senegalese visitor comic Yorro, drew a full of life crowd looking forward to leisure.
The mix of humour and bodily comedy ensured the match was a knockout success if not for the boxing, then definitely for Gambian comedy.
