Like most disciplines, the COVID-19 pandemic knocked amateur boxing down for a count in 2020.
But while the fistic sport was down, it was far from out and come 2021, an Olympic year, boxing is primed for a comeback season.
“The year 2020 was one of the most challenging years for amateur boxing in Guyana and in the world” said President of the Guyana Boxing Association (GBA), Steve Ninvalle, when he was asked to give a review of the year.
