Hairy Belly does not look like that any more. To see this fight, you will have to get hold of a time machine. 

(For the record I am not a fan of lion fights.)

Othawa pride with Matimba male. Junior is already bigger than Othawa lionesses. He is growing as fast as Nguvu.

He was last seen with 2 Southern Pride lionesses when they had fight with Mangheni pride which was fatal for older lionesses , Mhangeni pride prob chased him away as he was with 2 Southern Pride lionesses when the fight happened.

After that he was seen in Kirkmans Kamp and now returned back into Sabi Sabi. 

Hope he doesnt try to find remaining Southern Pride female, as she has new friends in N'ws males, N'ws males would prob kill him if they find him close to that lioness.

Interesting, HB warning Junior when he came too close to older Othawa lioness, he doesnt see him as a subadult anymore yet like a young male, this remainds me of Majingilanes schooling Othawa male few years back. Junior never meet his fathers, but he is blessed to be raised by legendary S. Matimbas.

Also i think people underestimate HB too much atm, he might be old but he still has power in him.

Look at his size, he still dwarfs Aunty Othawa, which is big lioness herself, a lot of males would think twice before engaging him:
