An exciting night is anticipated on Saturday when amateur boxing returns to Linden as
Commander of ‘E’ Division Kelvin Brutus joins forces to support the Pocket Rocket Boxing Gym and Fresh From The West Greens business with a ten bout boxing card set for the New Silvercity Secondary School hard court.
Two Georgetown-based boxing gyms, Harpy Eagles and Forgotten Youth Foundation will journey to Linden to take on Linden’s Pocket Rocket Gym in what will see some of the country’s promising young pugilists at the Under 15 and junior levels match skills.
Superintendent Brutus said he was impressed by the efforts made to promote boxing in Linden and the Police at Linden will give their support with sponsoring meals and medals while also giving logistical support to its preparations.
Commander Brutus also informed that he has seen the drive behind organizer Orlan Rodgers to get boxing back to Linden after returning to the area. Rodgers had taken his Pocket Rocket Gym to Berbice in recent years and has now returned to Linden. This is his first effort after relocating to Linden even though he had taken boxers form Linden to Georgetown recently with relative success.
Superintendent Brutus added: “We know that this individual has been in this community for a while, some youths from Victory Valley and the surrounding communities are being currently trained by him to do boxing at the Community Centre ground in Victory Valley. So we want to keep that partnership and we want to be a part of the endeavour in the future, because it will be useful for us and useful as well for the community. We have never been involved in boxing, we have been in football on more than one occasion, in cricket and circle tennis so this is our first venture in the area of boxing.”
The first set of boxers will touch gloves at 7.00pm.
