ONE of Guyana’s top boxing coaches will participate in a three-month coaching course in Hungary.

Sebert Blake, Coach of the Forgotton Youth Foundation Gym, will attend the 12-week training programme at the Semmelweis University Autumn from September 16 to December 6.
The course was made possible through the Guyana Olympic Association (GOA), and according to Blake, he is looking to make maximum use of the opportunity being afforded to him.
“I want to say a special thank you to the Guyana Boxing Association and the Guyana Olympic Association for providing me with this opportunity, while I also want to express gratitude to my work place [Guyana Power and Light] for giving me the time-off to attend this important course,” Blake said.
Blake has worked with several leading boxers in the past, including WIBA bantamweight champion, Shondell “Mystery Lady” Alfred.
President of the Guyana Boxing Association, Steve Ninvalle, lauded the GOA for affording Blake the opportunity to further enhance his knowledge on coaching, adding that such a move can only serve to develop the sport.
He also recognised the effort of GOA president K.A. Juman Yassin and the role he has been playing in facilitating the growth and development of amateur boxing.
Two other Guyanese – Terrence Poole and Carl Franklin – have also benefitted from the course in the past.
