The Guyana Boxing Association (GBA) had aspired to send a four-member team of boxers to Poland to compete at the Youth World Boxing Championships.
That plan was kayoed due to concerns of the COVID-19 pandemic which has seen a spike in hospitalities and deaths locally and overseas.
Ironically, the championships which starts today will be held under the motto “Protect yourself and others at all times”, noting safety during the COVID-19 pandemic.
