The Guyana Boxing Association will this year host the first Carifta tournament in more than a decade. The tournament will be held in the second week of April and will have Youth and junior boxers participating. President of the GBA Steve Ninvalle, who is attending an AIBA Forum in Panama along with Treasurer Dexter Patterson, said by telephone that the Carifta tournament will be held on April 11,12 and 13.
“The hosting of this tournament speaks directly to our (GBA) unrelenting drive to ensure our Youth, Junior and Schoolboy categories are provided with all the resources necessary to bring them on par with Latin America, Europe and the wider world. It wouldn’t be an easy task but I have a committed executive, Coaches Commission and Referees and Judges Commission. Combined with other external support I have no doubt that this tournament will be a success,” Ninvalle said.
The GBA boss added that so far Trinidad, Barbados, Cayman Islands, Dominica and Jamaica have informally indicated willingness to participate.
The Carifta Boxing Tournament was last held in the Bahamas in 1998. In 2016 the GBA organised the first ever Caribbean Schoolboys and Juniors tournament.
Ninvalle indicated that the hosting of the April tournament was well received by Caribbean presidents at the Forum in Panama and will take the total amount of international tournaments organised by the GBA for 2020 to three.
