THE Guyana Boxing Association will host it eagerly awaited 2022 presentation ceremony, tomorrow. The ceremony will be held at the Mirage Lounge on Albert and Third Streets, Alberttown.

GBA President Steve Ninvalle disclosed that the gala event will commence at 18:00hrs and will see the best performers in 2022 receiving prizes.

Top of the list is light heavyweight boxer ‘Dynamite’ Desmond Amsterdam who walked away with the Boxer-of-the-Year-Award. Amsterdam is a sergeant in the Guyana Defence Force and will be joined by fellow members of the force, Terrence Poole MS (Best Coach) and Jermain Craig (Best Referee/Judge). According to Ninvalle, there will be other awards. The president indicated that it is only fitting that the GBA recognises the sterling performances that have been given during last year and promised that the ceremony will now be an annual affair.

Ninvalle said, “This is a humble and custody attempt, a storied tradition by the association to reward the individuals, athletes and officials to be specific, who have performed remarkably and beyond the call of duty in the prior year. While the marquee presentations will include the Best Boxer, the Best Coach and the Best Official awards, several other notable accolades will also be presented at the gala.”
