Guyana Boxing Association Champion of Champions boxing extravaganza…

Several of Guyana’s top amateur pugilists will leave Georgetown tomorrow morning for Bartica where they will engage their counterparts from that community, Berbice, Linden and Essequibo in two nights of fistic fury when the Guyana Boxing Association (GBA) stages the National Champion of Champions tournament tomorrow and Saturday evening.
Those boxers selected to represent Georgetown are jnr/flyweight, Tyrone Lashley (RHJ), bantamweights, Mark Marshall (GDF), Stephon Nedd (REP), lightweights Clairmonte Gibson (GDF), Stephon Gouveia (HE), Imran Khan (GPF), Jnr/welterweight, Bert Braithwaite (GDF), and welterweights, Ron Smith (GDF) and Eon Bancroft, middleweights, Markember Pierre (GDF) and Dennis Thomas (Police) and heavyweight, Jason Barker (Rep). Two females, middleweights, Dwon Thompson (GDF) and Theresa London will also participate in the programme. The names of the pugilist from the other regions will be disclosed in a subsequent article.
Organizer of tournaments, Terrence Poole said that executives of the GBA has unanimously voted to shift activities to Bartica and were working in conjunction with Red Earth Promotions, a group out of the host community. He said that the Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sports had also rendered support and ensured that the ring was transported to the venue yesterday morning.
Mr. Poole had travelled to the mining town last week to ensure that all systems are in place and said that the Barticians have been starving for such activities and are excited about the tournament. He envisages a full house and opined that this tournament may very well be the catalyst to many other such activities in those parts of the country. Organizers are also mulling similar cards in Essequibo in the near future.
