The Guyana Boxing Association (GBA) received a shot in the arm from the National Sports Commission (NSC) yesterday to the tune of $1M.
The sum is the first disbursement of the $2.5M pledged by the commission to help offset airfare, accommodation and meal expenses during a 12-week training stint for four boxers and two coaches in Cuba ahead of the Olympic Qualifiers in March.
Director of Sport, Christopher Jones, made the presentation to President of the GBA, Steve Ninvalle at the NSC’s headquarters on Homestretch Avenue.
