Proud Kilimanjaro id#022684
Has his final bout missing from boxrec against Victor Iwunze where it is said he lost a 12 round unanimous decision in a non title bout this bout took place on 05-May-90 right before he was barred from boxing by the Zimbabwean boxing and wrestling federation until he provided blood work results all the information is from the book that had been written about his life and boxing career
Where it is said that (Kilimanjaro’s weight had ballooned to 115 kgs and the two days of training he had to prepare for "Baby Tyson" were not enough to whip him into shape. On 5th May 1990, the Ivorian boxing fans saw a vastly different man from the one they had idolised since he first beat Mary Konate in February 1985. Immobile and gun shy, the African champion was outpointed by the busy "Baby Tyson" over the scheduled eight rounds. But like his namesake, "Baby Tyson" employed some illegal "weapons". The referee warned him twice for headbutting, and if the man in the middle had been sterner, he would have disqualified the over-eager Nigerian. Despite Baby Tyson’s indiscretions, the judges believed he had done more to win the fight. When Kilimanjaro arrived back in Harare, the board had its guns pointed at him. It slammed him for fighting without its authorisation. To pre-empt impending action by the board, Kilimanjaro announced that he was relinquishing his national title because of a lack of challengers. But authorities all over the world like to have the last word. The board announced that Kilimanjaro had been stripped of his title and that they would not allow him to fight in a Commonwealth country until he produced a negative HIV test result. The board then moved with speed to find a new champion. It announced who would be fighting for the now vacant title. "The national heavyweight title will be fought for by the number one and number two contenders, Black Tiger and Juke Box Time Bomb, at Mucheke Stadium on 26th May 1990." Black Tiger did not waste the opportunity. He knocked out Juke Box in the sixth round of their twelve-round scheduled fight to become a two-time heavyweight champion of Zimbabwe. The ABC soon followed the lead of the Zimbabwe boxing board. The continental body stripped Kilimanjaro of his heavyweight title. Without two of his most treasured possessions, Kilimanjaro was down and out)
And his titles are not listed in his boxrec wiki
