If you are a fan of amateur boxing, then the place to be tomorrow is the National Gymnasium to witness the staging of the Patrick Forde Memorial Open.
There, pugilists from Trinidad, Suriname and Guyana’s finest will match gloves for trophies, medals and Regional bragging rights.
‘Dynamite’ Desmond Amsterdam, the Caribbean middleweight champion is scheduled to headline the 15-fight card with Trinidadian, Aaron Prince after St. Lucian, Arthur Langelier was forced to pull out after sustaining an injury during training.
Meanwhile, the internationally flavored card will see Commonwealth Youth silver medalist, Keevin Allicock taking on Trinidad’s Anthony Joseph in the main supporting bout.
Allicock is one of Guyana’s brightest amateur prospects and he will be looking to continue his Regional dominance tonight.
Tickets can be had from any executive of the Guyana Boxing Association or bought at the door.
Ringside seats cost $2000, while regular seating is $1000. See you there.
