Lake to replace Norville on `Rose Hall Town Showdown’ boxing card

A Barbados based Guyanese boxer Reblon Lake will replace Romeo Norville in next month’s `Rose Hall Showdown’ 24-round boxing card that is billed for the Rose Hall Community Centre ground, Berbice on December 13.The card which is being promoted by United States based Guyanese businessman Mark Thom who hails from Berbice will see Lake taking on Derick Richmond over six rounds in the main supporting bout.
All the boxers scheduled to appear on the card inked their contracts on Tuesday in the board room of Guyana Boxing Board of Control (GBBC) president Peter Abdool’s office.
In an invited comment, the promoter (Thom) said he hopes the card will be a really productive thing for Berbicians as far as sports goes as a whole in the ancient county.
Thom said as far as his memory serves him, there has never been a national championship fight in Berbice and he is happy that he is the person to make this a reality.
He was at the time referring to the main bout which is a 12-rounder between Richard Williamson and Dilan Allicock for the vacant Super Bantamweight title of Guyana.
The opening bout on the three-fight card brings together Mark Murray and Kishawn Simon over six rounds.
Thom has expressed his gratitude to Castle Hotel and Maximum Sports, and Combat and Strength for supporting the card financially.
Admission is $2000 for ringside and $1000 for regular seating.
