The Forgotten Youth Foundation (FYF) Gym will host an Inter-Gym boxing competition Saturday at the James and Bel Air Streets premises from 16:00hrs.
According to head coach of the gym, Sebert Blake, the fixture, which comes on the heels of the Caribbean Schoolboys and Juniors championships, is another initiative geared towards exposing amateur boxing in Georgetown. Blake, a three-star AIBA certified coach, told this publication recently that Simon Pures from all the local gyms have been invited to compete at the event which will see combatants battling for trophies and medals.
“The competition will be open to all boxers, schoolboys, juniors, youth and elite,” said Blake, adding “we will also be looking to have two female bouts.”
Blake pointed out that the tournament has attracted the sponsorship of former world champion, Australia-based, Gairy St Clair along with Banks DIH Limited, Courts, Abdool and Abdool, Talk is Cheap Internet Cafe and Star Party Rentals.
