It’s fight night once again and the nation’s fledgling champions will don gloves when the Guyana Boxing Board of Control, in collaboration with the Guyana Amateur Boxing Association (GABA) and the Ministry of Culture Youth and Sports presents yet another night of fistic fury.
Kwesi ‘Assassin’ Jones and Barbados based Guyanese Cleveland Fraser will headline the card when they clash for the vacant local light/heavyweight title as local boxing administrators aspire to fill all of the local championship slots.
In other fights Edmond DeClou, the exciting fighter from the Mining City, will face off with Eversley Ian Browne, while Cassius Matthews rejoins the fistic fray for a 4 round encounter against Simeon Hardy.
Veronica Blackman and Sharon Warde were engaged in three previous battles and the former pugilist has won two of them as against one by the latter. They will match gloves once again in a bout dubbed as the decider.
The fighters convened yesterday afternoon at the Avenue of the Republic offices of Abdool and Abdool Insurance brokers and affixed their Johnny Hancocks on their respective contracts.
They have since opened camp at gyms in Albouystown and its environs. DeClou is the only fighter operating out of Georgetown.
He is training at the Young Lion’s Boxing Gym, Linden, under the tutelage of Dirk Alexander.
Kaieteur Sport will be tracking the various principals to report on their progress during the coming weeks of preparation.
The boxers that are scheduled to comprise the amateur segment are still to be identified by GABA executives and would be published as soon as the information is released.
