Veteran boxer,Bash Alli,has threatened to take the Sports Minister,Mallam Bolaji Abdullahi to court,if he is not compensated to the tune of N5billion .
Alli and the Abdullahi had a misunderstanding,with the boxer accusing the Sports minister of trying to frustrate his boxing project,claiming that he was asked to part with some money before he could get the funds the Federal Government allocated to him.

Last week Alli and the Sports minister had a meeting in Abuja,but both parties could not reach an agreement to sheathe their swords,after the boxer walked out from the meeting.
