Guyana’s trio of boxers set to compete at the inaugural Junior Pan Am Games next month in Cali, Colombia stand to benefit from much-improved preparation.
This is according to President of the Guyana Boxing Association (GBA) Steve Ninvalle. Along with President of the Guyana Olympic Association (GOA), Kalam Juman-Yassin, he told the media yesterday that the pugilists will be “afforded the services of a nutritionist, a psychologist, a physiotherapist and every single thing that is needed” in order to make their preparation a success ahead of the event.
Further the boxers, Travis Inviary, Patrick Harvey and Alisha Jackman, will also receive $100,000 each from the GOA. Ninvalle explained: “The $100,000 is not for their training programme, it’s just for them to use to cushion the effects and the hardships that they may have.”
