NEW York -based Guyanese boxing promoter,Seon Bristol,has confirmed that his Briso Promotion company will be staging a boxing card in Guyana on December 26th.
The card will be in conjunction with the Guyana Boxing Association (GBA)and is expected to see some of the top fighters in the region participating. “My intention is to make sure that there is a fight-card on Boxing Day. It used to happen but for some reason has not in the recent past. I am not going to point fingers but intend to rectify the situation,” Bristol declared from the USA yesterday.
He disclosed that his company had attempted to host a similar event last Boxing Day but was persuaded against it after being informed that there was a professional card planned for the same day.
The former amateur boxer recently collaborated with the GBA to stage this year’s first International ‘Nuff Cuff’ tournament.
“I have spoken to the GBA president and have been given the green light. I have said before that I am willing to do whatever it takes to assist in moving boxing forward. The card will have an international flavour and brings down the curtain on Guyana’s boxing activity for 2017, Bristol said.
Once held, the Boxing Day card should take the total international amateur competitions held in Guyana to four for 2017. The GBA is scheduled to follow up on the February 19th ‘Nuff Cuff’ with the Caribbean Schoolboys and Juniors tournament in early May.
A total of 12 countries are expected to participate. That would be trailed by the first ever Inter-Guianas Boxing tournament in October. French Guiana, Suriname and the host country will partake.
