FEMALE AIBA One Star Referee/Judge, Ramona Agard, is preparing to head out to Honduras following an appointment from the Americas Boxing Confederation (AMBC).
Agard, one of a handful of female One Stars in the Caribbean, has been appointed by AMBC president, Osvaldo Bisbal, to officiate in the regional Continental Elite Women Championship to be held from June 4 to June 8 in San Pedro Sula, Honduras.
The appointment is the second this year for the seasoned referee/judge who last month attended the National Championship in Haiti. In September 2017, Agard did duties at the South American Youth Championships in Chile.
“I thank God and the president of the Guyana Boxing Association, Steve Ninvalle, for this opportunity,” Agard told this publication, when contacted on the appointment, “I think that other officials in Guyana and the Caribbean can look forward to more of such appointments as Mr. Ninvalle is working hard for the development of boxing across the Caribbean.
I plan to do my best in Honduras which, hopefully, will open the door to my compatriots,” Guyana’s lone female One Star referee stated.
Agard received her One Star credentials after being successful at an examination in Barbados in December 2016. She is the Chairperson of the GBA Referees/Judges Commission and is scheduled to write for her Two Star badge this year.
