The Guyana Boxing Association (GBA) will box off its annual Lennox Blackmoore Intermediate Championships tonight at the National Gymnasium.
The three-night fixture starts at 19:00hrs and will see the boxers competing for trophies and medals.
It is the second year since the GBA has decided to honour notable local boxers by naming tournaments after them.
Blackmoore, Guyana’s first Commonwealth champion had a professional record of 25 wins and five losses.
The US-based Blackmoore won the British Commonwealth lightweight title on October 1, 1977 after defeating Nigerian Jonathan Dele on points in Lagos, Nigeria in a 15-round bout.
Blackmoore, 65, also challenged for the World Boxing Association (WBA) lightweight title against Aaron Pryor, and World Boxing Council (WBC) FECARBOX light welterweight title against Antonio Cervantes in 1981.
