The bystanders start their motorcycles and head off to Uyo's bars to drink potent beer and palm-wine. Women with bundles balanced on their heads walk past the edge of the ring, paying no attention to the sweat-soaked men. The boxers mingle around the gym, discussing that evening's fights. They don't leave; they have no place else...
