The Guyana Boxing Association will step up concentration of its nursery in the next two months leading up to an international junior tournament to be held here in August.
The GBA will host two Under-16 and junior competitions each month as part of its preparation for the Caribbean Schoolboys and Juniors tournament to be staged here from August 17 to 19.
GBA President Steve Ninvalle said yesterday that AIBA Three Star coach Sebert Blake has been put in charge organizing the competitions the first of which is scheduled for June 9th at the Andrew ‘Six Head’ Gym.
According to Ninvalle, provision will be made for participations of new gyms such as Hands In Glove of Mahdia, Savannah of Lethem and Moruca Power Right Boxing Gym and Bartica Blazing Rocket of Region Seven.
“We created a special novice and beginner’s category specifically to facilitate these participation of the newcomers. We have been in contact with the new gyms and the response is heartening,” Ninvalle added.
The preparation competitions will commence at 1:00pm each Saturday. Meanwhile, the GBA is expecting to cater for at least seven countries in August. “Apart from Trinidad, St Lucia, Barbados and Jamaica (the usual participants) we are expecting Bahamas, Cayman Islands, Turks and Caicos Islands, Suriname and French Guiana at the third edition of the Caribbean Schoolboys and Juniors,” Ninvalle declared.
