Guyana’s hopes of excelling at the Caribbean Development Boxing tournament now rests on the shoulders of young but competent pugilists, Keevin Allicock, Colin Lewis, Joel Williamson and Desmond Amsterdam.
Down from a projected full strength 13-man team, the four boxers will be tasked with flying the Golden Arrowhead high at the four-night event which got underway last evening in St Lucia.
Team Guyana, the two-time winners of the fixture which started in 2015, was aiming for a three-peat, but the lack of adequate funding forced the Guyana Boxing Association (GBA) to select the team based on the funding that was accumulated.
