Fresh off officially receiving an Olympic Solidarity Scholarship from the International Olympic Committee (IOC) , boxing standout Keevin Allicock is back in the gym with a renewed vigor and focus as he readies himself to launch a new campaign for Olympic honours in the bantamweight division.

The top local Olympic prospect has his eyes on the big prize, stepping on the podium at next year’s Olympic Games in Tokyo, Japan.

But in the meantime, the monthly Olympic Solidarity funding which is worth US$500, is a very welcome boost to the 21 year-old and will help to ensure he has access to the necessary training and preparation on his journey to Tokyo.
