Boxing quartet, referee have lifted up Guyana

Lawrence Assannah

Behind every dark cloud there is a silver lining

The silver lining which emerged behind the dark cloud following Guyana’s participation at the recently concluded Caribbean Development Boxing Tournament in St Lucia is undoubtedly the success of the four boxers and the AIBA One-Star Referee/Judges’ certification of Lawrence Assanah.

Assanah, the Guyana Defence Force (GDF) Staff Sergeant, became just the third Guyanese and the first from the GDF to pass the AIBA One Star theoretical and practical exams which were held during the December 13-16 event.
