The Guyana Boxing Association (GBA) will step up concentration of its nursery in the next two months in the lead up to the regional junior tournament which will be hosted in Guyana this 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 which will definitely bring action, much to the delight of boxing fans, from August 17th to 19th.
GBA President Steve Ninvalle posited over the weekend that International Boxing Association (AIBA) Three-Star coach Sebert Blake has been put in charge of organizing the competitions with the first scheduled for this Saturday at the Andrew ‘Six Head’ Lewis Gym in Callendar Street, Albouystown.
According to Ninvalle, provisions will be made for the participation of new gyms such as Hands-in-Glove of Mahdia, Savannah of Lethem, Moruca’s Power-Right Boxing Gym and Bartica’s Blazing Rocket of region Seven.
”We created a special novice and beginner’s category specifically to facilitate the participation of the newcomers. We have been in contact with the new gyms and the response is heartening,” Ninvalle noted via a press correspondence.
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 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.
