President of the Guyana Boxing Association (GBA), Steve Ninvalle has recently handed over a document to the Minister of Culture, Youth and Sport, Frank Anthony that detail the plans and projections of his organization over the coming years. The document also presents a blueprint of the associated expenses for successful participation in preparatory activities leading up to the 2016 Brazil Olympics.
GBA organizers have identified several international events that could serve as the catalyst to the boxers’ development, thus enhancing their chances at acquiring the coveted but elusive Olympics Gold medal.
Consequently, they have identified several boxers to comprise a national team for possible selection to the Central American and Caribbean Games scheduled for Costa Rica starting March 3 next.
The boxers will be taken through their paces at the Andrews ‘Sixhead’ Lewis Boxing Gym, Albouystown from 16:00hrs on Weekdays and 10:00hrs on Saturdays. The pugilists will also be required to report to the National Park, Thomas Lands, at 05:00hrs weekdays for roadwork exercises.
Tournament Director, Terrence Poole said that his charges are working hard and it would be nice if administrators could acquire sufficient funds to field a full contingent. He said the boxers have been placed in order of priority.
Even so, these boxers must retain a high level of fitness and must attend at least 90% of training sessions and demonstrate some measure of constant improvement, key variables for selection.
The boxers would operate under the tutelage of several coaches including Cuban Francisco Hernandez Roldon, Terrence Poole, Carl Franklyn, James Walcott, Wensel Thomas and Sebert Blake.
Those called up for the squad are, Imran Khan and Stephon Gouveia (Harpy Eagles), Dennis Thomas (Police), Laured Stewart, Delon Charles and Theresa London (Forgotten Youth Foundation) and Eon Bancroft, Bert Braithwaite, Ron Smith, Clairmont Gibson and Omar Charles (GDF).
