PRESIDENT of the Guyana Boxing Association, Steve Ninvalle, will later this month attend his first Executive Committee meeting of the Americas Boxing Confederation (AMBC). Ninvalle will travel to Cartagena, Colombia for the meeting to be held on May 25.

The assembly of AMBC EC members will be the first since the local administrator was elected Vice-President of the body in March in Panama.

Ninvalle said that since receiving word of the upcoming meeting he has informed the Caribbean and recommended that they channel any grouses and/or proposals through him for them to be discussed at the EC meeting.

The AMBC governs amateur boxing in the Caribbean, North, South and Central America and is one of five Confederations affiliated to the world governing body AIBA. It consists of 43 countries and is one of five confederations affiliated to the 203-nation AIBA.

In January, Ninvalle was elected chairman of the Caribbean Steering Committee, a body referred to as the ‘glue’ that holds English-speaking Caribbean together. One month later AIBA appointed him chairman of its Youth Commission.

The GBA president is scheduled to leave on May 24 for Colombia.
