–Seon Bristol

THE BrisO Promotion ‘Sons of Champions’ boxing card scheduled for December 26th in Guyana has gained momentum, with head of the organization, Seon Bristol, disclosing that three former boxers have confirmed that they will be sponsoring fighters for the event.
“We are moving apace with this card and I am excited with the feedback that I am having. We have already had three former champions who confirmed that they are on board and will

be sponsoring a young and upcoming boxer for this card,” Bristol said from New York during a telephone interview.

“I have indicated that the sponsorship should be in place at least two months before the competition so that the participating boxers can properly prepare. A raffle will also be held in the New York area to assist in making the event a success,” he informed.
Bristol himself will be loosening up his purse strings to support Caribbean Super Heavyweight champion, Jason `AK 47’ Barker. “Mr. AK 47 is a national treasure and should be treated that way. BrisO Promotions would be taking care of him leading up to the Sons of Champions card.”

Earlier in the year Bristol returned to Guyana to hold discussions with the executives of the Guyana Boxing Association (GBA) relating to the staging of the card.
He met the then GBA president, Steve Ninvalle, Treasurer Dexter Patterson and Technical Director, Terrence Poole, and later disclosed that the name`Sons of Champions’ was given to pay homage to former boxers who have children currently in the sport discipline.

“It is being called ‘sons of champions’ as we have several former champions who now have children participating in the sport. For those former champions who do not have children in the sport, then we will ask that they adopt one for this card,” Bristol stated.
The former amateur boxer and nephew of former Commonwealth light middleweight champion, Kenny Bristol, declared that he was saddened that the country had no card last Boxing Day, hence the decision to stage one this year.
The `Sons of Champions’ card will take on an international flavor as boxers from the USA, Suriname and St Lucia are expected to participate.
