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 Open Championships.

“It’s the main competition of the year and it guarantees the national champions one year bragging rights,” said GBA’s Technical Director Terrence Poole yesterday.

Speaking at the press briefing at the Ministry of Sport, Poole added that “We will be having 10 divisions in the Elite category where the boxers will be fighting without headgear, so we can expect some fireworks. All the gyms are ready and raring to go, so see you there.”

The gyms that have confirmed their participation include Harpy Eagles, Forgotten Youth Foundation,
