Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but that actually is low-key super racist.

In terms of facial structure they don't look that much alike. Plus in skin tone, HNN is way darker.

They sported a similar hairstyle for a long time but that is about it.

Shane that Ouma never pursued rematches with K9 Bundrage or Gabe Rosado ehen he still had anything left.

Also crazy to realize he fought them both nearly a decade ago. Both are still fringe world class and clinging to relevance while he is currently a shell of himself and probably not top 100 material. So even though he could technically rematch either now since they're all still active, I would not want to see it.

The loss to Rosado was back then actually considered the biggest upset on that card, and that was co-feature to journeyman Billy Lyell snatching John Duddy's zero!

Some people might remember this guy as one in a long line of people that Golovkin put in hospital and ruined the career of.

No exactly.

The fact is that Ouma was pretty high on all of the props he got for the fight with GGG. He was back in training one month after the fight. He came out west to spar with a pretty good fighter for a few days, and it didn't go so well, and left him contemplating his future.

I like the attitude of the two guys in the second vid.

Ouma lost via UD8 to Moroccan-German prospect Ilias "The Assassin" Essaoudi, who improves his record to now 12-0 (9) and has punched his ticket for a crack at Bejeran in April 2018 challenging for the Caribbean's WBF middleweight world and/or his WBO European title. Ouma was reported to be penciled in against Bejeran yesterday, with some apparent confusion or back-and-forth regarding the matchmaking before it was ultimately determined last-minute that Ouma fought Essaoudi for the privilege of meeting Bejeran next spring (while Bejeran himself KO1ed a Hungarian in a tuneup 6-rounder). This carried the implication that if Kassim weren't able to clear this hurdle and generate some momentum heading into a guaranteed match for a prize (albeit fairly low grade) he might call it a day. Hopefully we get a retirement announcement soon.

Article from Bild.de from last Wednesday:

His life, his story, is a wild madness ride between nightmare, horror, success and defeat.

Ex-boxing world champion Kassim "The Dream" Ouma (38) boxed in the biggest arena in the world. In New York's Madison Square Garden, at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas. On Sunday he makes his comeback at the Hamburger Kiez in the disco "Große Freiheit".

Fighting - Ouma always had. Often enough for his life. And not to break life.

In 1978, he was born Julius Ouma in Uganda in Magamaga, a three-hour drive from the capital Kampala. The seventh of 13 children.

In 1984, he was kidnapped by the National Resistance Army, dumped in a garbage truck with dozens of other boys, and taken to the jungle. Ouma: "They said to us that we no longer have a mother or father. Who weeps, be dead. "

He gets his Muslim name "Kassim", is trained to be a child soldier. As a 7-year-old he has to shoot a school buddy who had lost his ammunition. Ouma: "Command was command. Otherwise we would both have been killed. "

For twelve years he served in the rebel troupe of today's President Yoweri Museveni. How many people he killed and tortured, he has forgotten.Drugs helped him dislodge horror pictures (he sat smoking on a pile of corpses).

In 1996, he boxed for the military club "Bombers", to the Olympic Games.However, the money is missing. In 1998, he gets a visa for the military World Cup in San Antonio / Texas, gets coal for a flight ticket, set off - to freedom.

In Washington, he applies for political asylum. He distributes pizza flyers, lives on food leftovers of the restaurant guests: "I then cycled through the boxing gyms by bicycle."

He has talent, he becomes a pro and he blows the first seven opponents.

In 2002, he becomes US champion in the Superwelter, survives a serious car accident and collects two belly shots in Florida when a restaurant is raided.

In 2004, "The Dream" becomes IBF World Champion at Caesars Palace / Las Vegas. 2005, the title is gone again.

After all: He is allowed to safely visit Uganda, is officially released from the army. Because he once deserted, military henchmen have killed his father in revenge.Kassim blames himself. He makes 16 fights, only half wins.

In 2015 he returns to Uganda. "But there, the government still hates me," says Ouma. He escapes again, arrives in Munich on a plane to Berlin, lives in a refugee home. He dreams of the last chance.

Ouma: "Tobias Drews helped me to find a gym here. He commented on my World Cup fight on TV back then. "
