The Guyana Boxing Association (GBA) has expressed condolences to the family of former national welterweight champion Lennox Beckles, who died recently following a prolonged illness.
Beckles was one of the finest pugilists from these shores and stamped his authority as one of the best from the Caribbean.
Beckles battled the best of his time including Jose Napoles, Brian Muller, Cesar Barrow, and Johnny DePeiza, among others. Boxing and Guyana has lost a dear son, the GBA said.
