THE Guyana Boxing Association will bring the curtains down on activity for the year with the Champion of Champions competition scheduled for December 20 and 21, at the Andrew `Six Head’ Lewis Gym in Albouystown. 

The Champion of Champions will follow closely on the heels of the DDL Under-16 tournament to be staged one week before at the same venue. GBA Technical and Tournament Director Terrence Poole reported that fighters from the 10 divisions would be taking part but was unsure of USA- based super heavyweight Quincy `Biggy’ Small’s participation.
“We have had a good year of boxing and it is my understanding that the executive of GBA want to close off the year with a bang. We expect participation from most of the gyms in the country,” said Poole.
“At this point in time I cannot say definitively if Quincy Small would be participating. I have been informed that the president (Steve Ninvalle) is expected to have a chat with Mr. Small soon. A decision on his participation would be made then.”
Small, the younger brother of former WBC cruiserweight champion Wayne `Big Truck’ Braithwaite, returned home for the first time in 12 years in October and contested the National Open. He defeated Jason ‘Ak 47’ Barker in his opening fight, then John Champaign in his second to be crowned National champion.
The Technical Director explained that the Champion of Champions competition is contested by boxers from two competitions held earlier in the year.
“It is basically the winner and runner up in each division of the National Intermediate, and the National Open competitions participating in the Champion of Champions. The four boxers will meet to decide who is champion of a particular division.”
The last Champion of Champions was held in Bartica. According to Poole, approximately 30 fighters are expected to participate this year.
