FANS were left baffled at the “weirdest weigh-in ever” after a boxer pretended to be a dinosaur in front of his rival.
The strange incident occurred this week ahead of the boxing match between Mohammed ‘The Destroyer’ Bekdash and Musa ‘The Dinosaur’ Ntege.
Everything was going smoothly at the weigh-in until the latter stepped onto the scales.
The Ugandan had only been drafted in as a late replacement to face Syria’s unbeaten star.
Bekdash had amassed a brilliant 25-0 record with 22 of those coming courtesy of knockout.
Meanwhile, Ntege had a slightly less impressive eight wins, with six KOs, and four defeats on his CV.

But he did not seem to be too deterred by his underdog status as he attempted to get into the mind of his formidable foe in hilarious and bizarre fashion.
The cruiserweight decided to unleash his “prehistoric alter-ego” after his weight was announced.
The 30-year-old arched his back and then stretched out his neck before bending both arms and bringing them into his chest.
Ntege then proceeded to hop off the scales, mimicking a velociraptor and prepared to go nose-to-nose with his rival.

He then faced Berkdash and continued to stay in his dinosaur persona.
Bekdasj was unimpressed, looking him up and down and then bumped him with his backside.
“What the f***” asked one fan after seeing the footage of the strange scene.
Another declared it “hilarious” while a fellow fan labelled it an “the weirdest weigh-in ever”.
And unfortunately for Ntege his prehistoric plan failed to work once the pair got in the ring.
Bekdash pounced on him within seconds to deliver a huge knockout blow inside the first round to stretch his record to 26-0.
