Blind Ugandan boxer taking the sport by storm

Bashir Ramathan is an intimidating boxer -- even though he is blind.

Ramathan, 36, lost his sight in 1995 but refused to let that stop him from resuming his boxing career, three years ago.
[...]
Both he and his opponents are blindfolded in matches, putting them on a more equal level.

That's pretty inspiring. My hat goes off to those who want to compete on Ramathan's Daredevil-ish level.

Both of them blindfolded?

No offense to Mr. Ramathan, but it sounds like the promoters are using him as a gimick.

Peace favor your sword,
Kirk
