Local pugilists to take on Venezuelans

Elton Dharry

In what is being dubbed a patriotic battle for country pride, Venezu-elans will square off against Guyanese fighters on January 20 card which will also feature Elton Dharry, a world-class contender undefeated in his last 16 fights joining Dexter Gonsalves, Guyana’s current Lightweight champion, who narrowly lost a decision to world-ranked DeMarcus Corley in his last outing.

“The Cobra” will seek to wipe the bitter taste of that loss as he prepares to fight the Bahamian Lightweight champion Meacher Major in The Bahamas. A victory over the tough Bahamian will once again put Gonsalves in the picture for a Commonwealth title shot.
