Guyana could have a major voice in international boxing if President of the Guyana Amateur Boxing Association
Steve Ninvalle, who is among eight persons vying to be an AIBA Americas Executive Committee member, gets the nod when that body holds its Congress from November 11 to 14 on Jeju Island, South Korea.
AIBA confirmed Ninvalle will be among the lot running for the position in documents seen by this newspaper yesterday.
The GABA head is among several members listed from several countries vying for positions on this key sporting body. Once elected, Ninvalle will be an assistant vice president in the Americas area, which is led by AIBA vice president and area President Dr. Domingo Salano.
This is the first time that a representative from the English speaking Caribbean has been nominated for this crucial election of the World amateur boxing body (AIBA) and Ninvalle had earlier noted that he is a worthy candidate and will be a big voice for the Caribbean and Americas region in world amateur boxing.
In June this year, Ninvalle was nominated by his counterparts in the Caribbean at a meeting of Caribbean presidents to run alongside Dr. Salano. The Americas region, headed by Salano, is expected to support Ninvalle along with the Caribbean area, while the two areas mentioned are in support of Salano to retain his post.
Among the other members vying for positions on AIBA in the document seen, include: Osvaldo Bisbal (Argentina), Pat Fiacco (Canada), Rafael Vega Rodriguez (Costa Rica), Alberto Puig De La Barca (Cuba), Alex Gonzalez Gutierrez (Ecuador), Ray Silvas (USA) and Fran Lopez Almeida (Venezuela).
THIS IDIOT TELLING GUYANA WE HAVE NO SAY IN THE 50% PROFIT SHARING AGREEMENT WE HAVE WITH EXXON.
