SBA president due next week

President of the Suriname Boxing Association Remie Burke will be travelling to Guyana next week for a special meeting with members of the Guyana Boxing Association executive.Burke is scheduled to spend two days here and will meet to discuss a wide range of matters pertaining to the fistic sport.
The GBA president Steve Ninvalle disclosed that Burke is expected here Wednesday and would be pushing for closer ties with Guyana. In the last year Suriname has been seeking collaboration with this country.
However, the GBA was forced to write to AIBA seeking clarification on the way forward as a split developed in the SBA with both factions claiming to be legitimate and sending correspondence to GBA. AIBA has since ruled that Burke is the rightful president.
Ninvalle said that his association stands ready to give whatever assistance it can to Suriname. “We are in the process of awaking sleeping associations within CARICOM. Boxing has been dormant in Suriname for some time. The GBA stands ready to provide whatever we can at this moment,” Ninvalle said.
He added that GBA Technical and Tournament Director Terrence Poole and national coach Wincell Thomas would be part of the delegation to meet with Burke.
