The Guyana Boxing Association’s (GBA) eventful year continues when the National Novices Championship punches off on June 13 at the National Gymnasium on Mandela Avenue. Spread across three days (June 13, 14, and 15), the championship will see at least seven gyms in action. Novice boxers from Forgotten Youth Foundation, the Guyana Defence Force, the Guyana Police Force, Pace and Power, Vergenoegen, New Amsterdam Academy, the Guyana Police Force, and Republicans will showcase their skills and battle for supremacy. Ahead of the championship, GBA Technical Director and administrator of the annual programme, Terrence Poole, stated, “This is the breeding ground and starting point for many boxers in the sport. This is where we identify future and potential talents, because often this is where they start their respective careers.”
