GBA raises $200,000 towards St Lucia trip

There is good and bad news for the Guyana Boxing Association (GBA) and its presence at the third annual Caribbean Devel-opment Boxing Tourna-ment scheduled  for St Lucia from Wednesday to Saturday.

The good news is: the association has raised a further $200,000 since a late appeal on Friday. The bad news? Guyana, the two-time and defending champion of the event, is still $2.8M adrift from the $4M needed to send a full strength team of 13 boxers to defend its title.

According to president of the GBA, Steve Ninvalle, today is a “make or break day but the association is still fighting strongly to make sure that we have a team to represent us in St Lucia.”
