With the drama of the Pan Am Qualifiers behind him, Keevin Allicock has now shifted his focus to the Pan Am Games and the boxer is hoping that the powers-that-be pull out all the stops to enable local athletes to climb the podium steps.
Allicock told Stabroek Sport yesterday that personally he would like to train and spar with a higher level of competition, perhaps in Cuba ahead of the Games which will be hosted in Lima, Peru from July 26 to August 11th.
“There is a lot of extra work to be put in,” said the 19-year old. “The feeling is good that I qualified for the Games but I want to come back with a medal so I want to be prepared as best as possible.”
