The Government of Guyana stands ready to support local pugilists and the auspicious endeavors of the Guyana Boxing Association (GBA).

This is according to Director of Sport, Christopher Jones, who witnessed the successful hosting of the four-night Caribbean Boxing Championships (CBC) which concluded last Sunday at the Cliff Anderson Sports Hall.

Following the event, which attracted in excess of 130 boxers and officials from nine territories, Jones reiterated government’s commitment to the development of the fistic sport – which has won the nation its lone Olympic medal – the young and upcoming talent, and the local association.
