The Guyana Amateur Boxing Association came under fire yesterday morning after 23 boxers did not receive breakfast on time.
The boxers, who are from gyms in Berbice, are in the city to compete at the National Intermediate Championship which started last night and concludes tomorrow at the National Gymnasium.

The boxers, some as young as 12-years-old, told Stabroek Sport at the National Gymnasium where they are encamped, that they had not eaten since Thursday night.
