The Linden Town Week Washdown will have an added attraction this year – ‘Women’s Beach Bikini Boxxing’ – which will see 10 competitors on May 1 at the Blue Lake.
This is the second episode of the competition which made its debut in November last year at the Splashmin’s Resort. The event was presented by Bris O Promotions, headed by Seon Bristol, a US-based Guyanese, who has been promoting professional and amateur boxing in Guyana and internationally for more than 20 years.
The double x in the word Boxxing denotes that it is adult entertainment. However, the competition will be censored to cater for children accompanying their parents.
In a previous interview with The Scene, Bristol had said: “It is required that applicants are at least the legal age of 18 and are physically fit. Each contestant will be fitted with balloon-like gloves that are specially made to minimize and prevent certain injuries. The wearing of head gear is not compulsory. Those women who will not be contesting in the ring will be servers and will be uniformed in beach attire. The boxers, however, will be allowed their choice of wear for the event.”
