Aziz Abdul arrives in Glasgow carrying one of Africa's most recognisable family names, but the Ugandan boxer says his focus is firmly on creating a legacy of his own. A victory in his Commonwealth Games quarter-final would not only guarantee Uganda its first boxing medal at the Games in more than three decades, but also shift attention from the shadow of his grandfather, former Ugandan leader Idi Amin.
The 25-year-old super-heavyweight boxer is among nearly 3,000 athletes competing at the Commonwealth Games. Unlike most of his fellow competitors, however, Abdul's family history has made him a figure of public interest long before stepping into the ring.
Abdul will take on England's Damar Thomas in the quarter-finals of the men's over-90kg division on Wednesday. Winning the bout would secure at least a bronze medal and end Uganda's wait for a Commonwealth boxing medal, which stretches back to the Auckland Games in 1990.
Although he never met his grandfather, Abdul remains closely linked to Idi Amin, who seized power through a military coup in 1971 and became Uganda's third president.
Amin ruled the country for eight years under a government blamed for the deaths of an estimated half a million people. During his presidency, Uganda's entire Asian community was forced out of the country.
He married six times and acknowledged fathering around 60 children, making Abdul one of his many grandchildren.
The Glasgow Games also carry special meaning because of Amin's unusual attachment to Scotland.
While in power, he regularly appeared in Scottish kilts, played the bagpipes and, in 1976, even declared himself the "King of Scotland." His fascination with the country later inspired the Oscar-winning film
The Last King of Scotland
, featuring Forest Whitaker and James McAvoy.
Abdul smiled when asked about the possibility of winning gold in Scotland and the comparisons that could follow.
"In everything we do, God knows tomorrow," he told BBC Sport Scotland. "It's God's plan. I might be the new King of Scotland. It's possible.
"When I arrived, I put up the flag, 'cause I like Scotland so much."
The family's connection to boxing did not begin with Abdul. Amin himself held Uganda's light-heavyweight title for nine years from 1951, although his career inside the ring also attracted controversy.
One report claimed that after suffering a defeat before taking power, Amin later ordered a rematch and won through a staged knockout while dressed in a suit and tie.
Abdul previously said he had been "inspired" by his grandfather, though he did not explain whether he was referring to his boxing career.
When asked whether he was proud to be Idi Amin's grandson, Abdul chose not to answer directly, saying he preferred not to discuss the former ruler.
"Sometimes people say positive about him, but others say negative about him," he explained. "That's why I don't want to talk more about him.
"It's not good to say something negative about someone who is not there, and it's not good to say something about someone negative who was not there by the time when the incident happened, if it happened."
Idi Amin died in exile in Saudi Arabia in 2003 before facing trial over the alleged abuses committed during his rule, despite calls from both the Ugandan government and human rights groups.
Those events took place years before Abdul was born, and he says his goal is to be remembered for achievements inside the boxing ring rather than the history attached to his surname.
The gold chain around his neck is one prize he hopes to replace before leaving Glasgow. Backing the power of what he calls his "Ringo punch," Abdul believes he can deliver Uganda's long-awaited breakthrough.
"Our first medal will be won tomorrow. No excuse," he says. "That's why I'm here. I have that dream that I'm gonna go back with gold medal. That's the reason I'm here in Glasgow right now.
"I want to do something for my country. I think the day is tomorrow for them to recognise me and for the world to recognise me. I want to be known as the Ringo the boxer."
