THE GUYANA Boxing Association, in collaboration with Mark Younge and Vidya Rangee of Lethem, will be taking boxing to Mahdia in Region 8 for the very first time in Guyana’s history this Saturday, where an admission fee of $1 000 will be charged to witness the event firsthand.

The competition will start at 19:00hrs with fighters from Georgetown and Essequibo taking on their counterparts from Mahdia. In the first fight Akeem Mounter will go up against Cornell Wilson in an eliminator, following which the winner will face off with Travis Caesar from Mahdia in the main bout.
The second and third fights will be Shane Skeete against Dellon Jeffrey and Stephon Smith against Brandon Lashley. Other fights include Agussi Garrett, Dominique, Moseley, Noah, Troy, Trevor and Dequan.
Speaking at a press conference yesterday in his office, GBA president Steve Ninvalle thanked the promoter for being the first to promote such bouts in Linden, adding that since it will be the first time in Mahdia, his association will work hard to host more events throughout the country so that boxers from all across Guyana will get the chance to showcase their talents.
He also asked the community of Mahdia to come out and support the event and said that other boxers who wish to participate could do so by applying before Saturday, while he reminded all that the next GBA event will be the ‘Nuff Cuff Injection 2’ which is set for Buxton, next Saturday.
Younge thanked the sponsors including Big Boss Trucking Service, Industrial Supplies and Services, Talk is Cheap Internet Café, Trophy Stall of Bourda Market, Hadi’s Mall and South Road and Vicky’s Night Club Mahdia, just to name a few.
