The boxing association of Suriname has confirmed the participation of five of their pugilists for the BrisMac boxing card scheduled for February 19 at the National Gymnasium.
This is according to renowned promoter, Seon Bristol, one-half of the BrisMac Promotion team which will be collaborating with the Guyana Boxing Association (GBA) to stage the international fixture.
The USA-based Bristol, who arrived in Guyana Thursday, also told Stabroek Sport yesterday that he is still awaiting confirmation from St. Maarten with regards to their participation.
Bristol, who has been involved in sponsoring and promoting professional and amateur cards locally and overseas, disclosed that he is “very much excited for the continued relationship he shares with the boxing community”.
GBA’s President, Steve Ninvalle mentioned recently that he was heartened by the efforts of the promoters, Bristol and Alford McDonald since the event will be “a bang for us starting the new year.”
Ninvalle noted that the card, which will kick start the 2017 season, “will put some fuel into the developmental drive of amateur boxing in Guyana.”
