It looks like they are defecting the way Cubans use to. So as to not go back to their home country.

The National Council of Sports (NCS) in Uganda has said the government of Germany has threatened to stop issuing visas to Ugandan boxers to take part in competitions in their country.

Three Ugandan boxers who participated in the 2017 AIBA World Championship in Hamburg disappeared and refused to return home.

John Bosco Onyik, Board Chairman of the National Council of Sports, told KweséESPN on Monday that they have already been told by the Germany Embassy that it could stop giving visas to Ugandan boxers.

But Onyik has made it clear that although the Germany Embassy has written to them, it has also asked the Uganda Boxing Federation (UBF) to explain why they always have a boxer disappear when a team travels.

"Two boxers disappeared in Germany last year, another at the Gold Coast Commonwealth Games and recently a junior boxer vanished in Hungary. We have asked the Federation to give proper explanation because we are going to take hash measures against them," Onyik said.
