On April 3, 2004, Guyana’s first world boxing champion, Andrew ‘Sixhead’ Lewis, ceremoniously cut the ribbon to commission ‘The Andrew Lewis Boxing Gym’ in his honor.

Fast forward to today, the gym appears abandoned and almost in ruins.

To put it politely, the facility is in dire need of renovation including the restocking of modern gym equipment.
