The four boxers who were stranded in Cuba for 126 days have all been cleared to resume training following psychological evaluations by Dr. Sixtus Edwards yesterday.

According to President of the Guyana Boxing Association (GBA), Steve Ninvalle, the pugilists were given the green light to resume training at their respective gyms.

“Today (yesterday) we had the boxers psychologically evaluated by Dr Sixtus Edwards, a clinical psychologist and everyone was given the green light to return to training at their gyms. However, we have to wait on the COVID-19 guidelines, but what was said is that they are mentally sound to return to training.”
