• The Young Famous and African star was caught on camera, seemingly fighting back tears as her hubby got knocked out in the ring by his opponent, Rickman Manrick
• While fans admired her for supporting her man, others claimed that her tears were merely for show

Zari Hassan recently attended her husband Shakib Lutaaya's boxing tournament and couldn't contain her emotions watching him lose.

Lutaaya, a Ugandan entrepreneur and amateur boxer, competed against Rickman Manrick on 30 August 2025 at the packed MTN Arena in Lugogo.

Ahead of the match, one would think he predicted the outcome in one of his Instagram posts promoting it:

"Get ready for the Kampala Rumble—gonna be a knockout night!"

And a knockout night it was. The reality TV star and trader's night didn't go as planned when Rickman knocked him down in the second round of their match, and his wife's reaction has been trending on social media.

"Getting whooped in front of your woman is insane. You’d need to climb a Mountain in Oxford shoes and swim across a crocodile-infested river to make her forget that L, or else the next time she’s mad at you, she’ll be like, 'After I supported you when you got beaten on national TV?'"
