Guyana’s hopes of medaling at the Games in the sport of boxing now rests on the shoulders of Keevin Allicock (52kg) who springs into action today against Reece McFadden.

The silver medalist at last year’s Commonwealth Youth Games will match gloves with the Scot, a bronze medalist at the last Commonwealth Games.

Allicock and McFadden are scheduled to take the ring at 17:17hrs Australia time.
