KAMPALA- Moses Golola and Titus Tugume are synonymous with carrying gifts for their opponents at weigh-in ceremonies.

Both have at different times actually carried coffins as part of their trash talking routines before fights.

Golola was at it again during Friday’s weigh in ceremony ahead of the pair’s East and Central African Super Middleweight title rematch today at the Lugogo MTN Arena.

The motor-mouthed prize fighter carried flowers for his opponent.

“Tugume should be submissive and accept these flowers because he cannot beat me. I want him to be my Valentine,” Golola taunted his rival.

The fight comes two years and five months since Tugume was felled in less than a minute by a Golola in their initial highly-billed showdown at Freedom City. Another loss today could see the UPDF soldier’s career suffer a serious setback.

“I have waited for this rematch for a very long time. And I am glad the time for a rematch has come,” was all Tugume nicknamed “Hard Rock” could say after the weigh-in ceremony held at the BetWay head office in Kampala.
