Rwandan boxers had a forgettable experience in the ring as the East African Military Games marched into day 3 at Amahoro yesterday.

Ugandan fighters dominated proceedings after wining all their four fights.

Niyitegeka, who suffered a narrow 20-21 defeat against Uganda’s Hassan Abdu turned out to be Rwanda’s best performer.

Omar Nsengiyumva (Bantum weight) and M.Gashumba (Feather weight) retired hurt while Hasiza Matunzi and Eric Baributsa lost to Omar Salehe and Simon Mulingi respectively.
