The Guyana Boxing Association (GBA) season will continue this weekend when the fistic sport returns to the East Ruimveldt Community Centre (California Square) for the staging of the National Intermediate Championships.

Boxers on the brink of success will be boxing under floodlights in all categories, schoolboys/juniors, youths and seniors, with around 26 exciting bouts scheduled.

According to president of the association Steve Ninvalle:“We will be returning to the California Square after holding a successful ‘Nuff Cuff’ competition in May.

Ninvalle reminded that taking the discipline to communities is “part of our decentralizing programme as it relates to sport.”

The GBA head also revealed that boxers who will be competing for trophies and medals, will come from the stables such as the Carryl Boxing Gym, Essequibo Boxing Gym, Forgotten Youth Foundation, GDF, Republican, Rose Hall Jammers and the Young Achievers Gym.

Gates open at 18:00hrs each evening.
