Blackout forces abandonment of Novices Boxing Championship opening night

-bouts rescheduled for ‘Six Head’ gym today

A power failure had the final say on the opening night of the Guyana Boxing Association (GBA) National Novices Championship, as it blanketed the National Gymnasium on Mandela Avenue in darkness which forced an abandonment of the evening’s proceedings.

The power outage persisted in excess of an hour before the officials decided to suspend the proceedings without a bout being staged.

According to the tournament organizing committee, the fights will be hosted this morning at the Andrew ‘Six Head’ Lewis Gym in Albouystown from 10:00am.
