Suriname to send three fighters

THE Guyana Boxing Association (GBA) will hold their final event for 2017, the Terrence Ali National Open Championship, November 28-30, at the National Gymnasium.
“This tournament is our last statutory competition for the year and it’s a prerequisite for selection to the team that will represent this country at the Caribbean Championship in December, in St Lucia,” said GBA president Steve Ninvalle.

With outstanding performances expected to be rewarded a spot on Guyana’s team for the marquee Caribbean tournament, Ninvalle said the crème de la crème of fighters from gyms across Guyana are expected to be in attendance.
With this in mind, boxing fans, according to Ninvalle, will be in for a treat and he is urging persons to come out and support the fighters.

Ninvalle also disclosed that the event, this year, will be highlighted by attendance of three fighters from Suriname, adding,for the first time some international flavour.
Asked about the attendance of the Republican Boxing Gym, which features incarcerated fighters, Ninvalle explained “the last information I received is that they are participating. I know they had received some gear from the National Sports Commission (NSC) and are expected to participate”.
