Elton Chase appointed Guyana Boxing Association’s Technical Director

Elton Chase, who became the first Guyanese to receive his appointed International Technical Officer (ITO) certification from IBA, will serve as the GBA’s Technical Director.

The Guyana Boxing Association (GBA) has appointed International Technical Officer (ITO) Elton Chase to the position of Technical Director, following the passing of incumbent Terrence Poole during the month of October.

This was confirmed by a press release from the entity. Chase, who is also an experienced trainer, referee, and judge, is the first Guyanese and one of the few Caribbean officials to secure the ITO certification from the world-governing body IBA.

Chase will now be responsible for the administration of the association’s developmental programmes, many of which are tailored to the junior divisions.
