Kaieteur News – From March 28 to April 3 in Guayaquil, Ecuador, the First Vice President of the Guyana Boxing Association (GBA), Dr. Marissa Parris, will be making a bit of local boxing history when she attends an International Boxing Association (IBA) ringside doctor’s certification course.

President of the GBA, Steve Ninvalle, explained that his association “bent backward” to have Parris attend the course as it fits into their developmental drive.

According to the IBA, the main objective is to help develop their Ringside Doctors and increase the pool of elite ringside doctors around the world.
The respective course consists of theoretical and practical sessions followed by a theoretical and practical examination.
The course, as well as the theory examination, is being conducted in both English and Spanish and is open for the already certified doctors as well as the doctors those who are seeking IBA certification for the first time.
