–USA-based Guyanese Gittens hailed by Ninvalle

NATIONAL youth boxer, Keyon Britton, recently received sponsorship courtesy of his personal financier, Samuel ‘Stanley’ Gittens, who adopted the career of the pugilist a few months back.

The USA-based Guyanese immediately threw his support morally and financially behind the youth fighter who was among the stars during the 2022 School Boxing tournament held in Guyana a few months ago.

According to Gittens, Britton of the Vergenoegen Boxing Gym, is expected to have his full-time support, financially or any other means of career development, making sure that all basis are covered going forward.

Guyana Boxing Association (GBA) president, Steve Ninvalle, stated that this unique relationship is a blueprint for others to follow. He said with boxing on the rise, more youths will need such outside support in order to fully and quickly unlock their raw potential.

Ninvalle lauded the boxing enthusiast Gittens for allowing young Britton to have more opportunities to further his craft, as his sponsor promised financial support for overseas travel among other aspects of the fighter’s career.

Ninvalle stressed that such opportunities are golden and as a result, recognized Gittens as a role model with regard to his genuine care and support for boxing and its future athletes (Clifton Ross).
