The 18th edition of the Guyana Boxing Board of Control (GBBC) Pro Am Friday Night Fight card will box off tonight at the Cliff Anderson Sports Hall.
The card will comprise four amateur and four professional bouts.

The main event of the card will be a six-round junior middleweight bout between Winston Pompey and Simeon ‘Candy Man’ Hardy.
The undefeated Hardy, who trains at the Forgotten Youth Foundation (FYF) gym, boasts a record of four wins with three of them coming by way of knockouts, including South America’s fastest, a 20-second demolition of Patrick Boston last October.

However, Winston Pompey who lost his last fight by KO in Jamaica this past May will be looking to create an upset.
The 32-year-old Pompey, who trains at the Andrew ‘Six Head’ Lewis gym, has a record of four wins, nine losses and two draws, with three of his victories inside the distance.
