When was the last time a leader of a country challenged another leader of a country to a duel to settle a dispute?

and when was the last time the challenge was accepted? hard to believe any would actually ever be accepted. i was listening to a lecture on youtube about the paris peace conference and the professor mentioned that someone challenged someone to a duel during the conference. any truth to that?

Idi Amin of Uganda challenged the (elderly) Julius Nyerere of Tanzania to a boxing match to settle a military conflict between the two states.
