The upcoming Caribbean Development Boxing tournament will be the perfect opportunity for top administrators to meet and discuss the development of the sport even as the region’s leading amateur boxers flex their muscles.
Four presidents from Caribbean territories will join with their Guyanese counterpart Steve Ninvalle on Friday for a meeting aimed at advancing the sport in the Caribbean. Those that will be here are Anthony Jones of the Boxing Association of Barbados, Stephen Jones of the Jamaican Boxing Board, David ‘Shakes’ Christopher who will represent the St. Lucia Boxing Association and president of the Trinidad and Tobago Boxing Association Cecil Ford.
Stephen Jones arrives here on Thursday, while the others are expected in Guyana one day earlier. The team will benefit from the vast knowledge of Secretary of the Barbados association Kathy Harper-Hall, known as at Mother of Caribbean boxing.
The last time Caribbean presidents met is such numbers was last year June in Barbados. The Caribbean tournament will get underway off on Thursday at the Cliff Anderson Sports Hall.
Fourteen countries have registered to participate in what is being dubbed as the largest gathering of regional countries in Guyana for any sport activity.
Over one hundred boxers and 30 officials are expected in for the tournament which has regional bragging rights at stake.
Please share this to every Guyanese including your house cats.
