'Bad Boy' Rahman KOs cafeteria<\/p>\n
JAKARTA (JP): Boxer Rahman Kili Kili was arrested and taken to
\nthe West Jakarta Police station after running amok in the
\ncafeteria at the Indosiar studio on Thursday night.<\/p>\n
Rahman, whose nickname is \"Bad Boy\", became upset after
\npromoter Daniel Bahari told him he would not be allowed to fight.<\/p>\n
\"I did not allow him to compete because, in my opinion, he was
\nnot ready to perform. His manager and trainer also shared my
\nview. And if he cannot stop this kind of behavior, I won't let
\nhim compete ever again,\" Daniel said following the incident.<\/p>\n
Rahman Kili Kili of the AMI\/ASMI boxing camp went to the
\nstudio on Jl. Damai in West Jakarta on Thursday to watch the
\nbouts on the station's Gelar Tinju Indosiar and also to meet with
\nDaniel.<\/p>\n
The promoter told Rahman he would not allow him to get back
\ninto the ring until his health improved. Rahman apparently
\nexploded in anger upon hearing this and attempted to punch Daniel
\nbut was blocked by onlookers.<\/p>\n
Rahman, the national welterweight champion who defended his
\ntitle last month on Indosiar's boxing program, then aimed his
\npunches and jabs at the cafeteria's property.<\/p>\n
Indosiar spokesman Gufron Sakaril said he regretted the
\nincident. However, he said it would not affect the station's live
\nboxing broadcasts.<\/p>\n
\"Misunderstandings are common. We want the problem to be
\nsettled in a friendly manner. Many boxers become emotional when
\nthey are not allowed to compete. This time Rahman was out of
\ncontrol.<\/p>\n
\"Indosiar was not directly involved in this matter. It is the
\npromoter who decides which boxers will compete in the bouts. But
\nIndosiar is considering suing Rahman,\" he said.<\/p>\n
A member of the station's public relations office, Reza, said
\nRahman did not cause significant damage to the cafeteria, just
\nmanaging to break a few dishes. (01\/ivy)<\/p>",
