HEAVYWEIGHT boxer Peter Okhello has decided to lie low after his humiliating defeat to WBC world champion Oleg Maskaev in Moscow, Russia, last year.
The Japan-based prize-fighter sneaked home on Christmas eve and has since kept himself away from the public.
Okhello who lost to Maskaev in a unanimous 12-rounder points verdict on December 10, is reported constructing houses for rent in Ntinda, a Kampala suburb.
Sources close to the towering fighter say the 2000 Sydney boxing team Olympian, disguised in a large brim hat, moves in tinted cars. Night movements characterise his daily programmes.
“We have also failed to contact him. All his usual telephones are off. This is very surprising,†lamented a close source.
The soft spoken Okhello is known for his secret life style. But this latest development is shocking for a man who has had a shot at the world title, wondered another close friend.
