The Barbados Boxing Association will this coming weekend will stage the Horace Phillips Memorial Tournament which will feature several overseas boxers.
The annual event held this time of the year, is in honour of one of Barbados’ boxing fraternity’s most faithful and dedicated members who passed on several years ago.
There will be thirteen bouts on the Card, six of which will involve boxers from Trinidad & Tobago.
This Card is part of the preparation process for Barbados Junior boxers whom are preparing for the Continental Youth Boxing Championships, the World Youth Boxing Championships, and the 2014 Youth Olympics.
Meanwhile, from March 15-17 (next weekend), a team of female boxers from the Flying Fish Island will travel to Trinidad to participate in the Southern Games which will be concentrating on Women in Sport.
Barbados has a vibrant programme which is aimed at improving the sport there. This is similar to the moves being made by Guyana and the two countries are expected to be involved in various programmes in the not too distant future.
Guyanese fighters have journey to Barbados over the last year and it is anticipated reciprocal arrangements will continue between the two Caribbean countries.
Listen to the man that is throwing Guyanese bright future away
