The amateur boxing card scheduled for Linden tomorrow has received a late shot in the arm after several sponsors came forward in the homestretch.
President of the Guyana Amateur Boxing Association Steve Ninvalle said yesterday that Banks DIH Limited has come on board to make the 12-bout card a success.
Ninvalle also disclosed that Toucan Industries, Guywill Shipping, Jevon and Denise of Massive in Linden, Kashif and Shanghai Organization and Guymine.com, have joined the list of sponsors.
The inaugural opened air boxing card, which will ignite the Bus Park when the boxers collide when the anticipated excited bouts commence under officials order, will see spectators who missed the Friday Night fights at the Cliff Anderson Sport Hall last Friday will receive another chance to witness Guyana’s talent.
The card will be held under floodlights in collaboration with the Linden Town Week celebrations.
President of GABA, who announced the great venture last Friday at the Princess Hotel and revealed that this competition will be part of their decentralizing boxing plans, expressed his gratitude to the sponsors for supporting the amateur boxing card.
Other sponsors on board are: Princess International Hotel, Digicel, Allison Butter Grant, Tricina Sobers (Women across the borders), Mark Arthur, Sybils Bakery, Kevin Smith (Golden Grove Boxing Gym), Delta Airline and Lion Love Promotion.
Boxers a part of the venture: Kenny Bristol, Lennox Blackmore, Dillon Carew, Steve Frank, Raul Frank, Brian Mutter and Elton ‘the Coolie Bully’ Dharry.
Several of Guyana’s top boxers are scheduled to appear on the card including bantamweight Olympic hopeful ‘Magic’ Imran Khan. According to Ninvalle, the first fight will commence at 6 pm. The card is organized by GABA and Briso Promotions.
