The Guyana Defence Force (GDF) and Junior Hyman took home the marquee accolades when the final bell of the Andrew Lewis National Novices Championships chimed on Sunday night at the National Gymnasium.
After three nights of fistic fury, Hyman, of the Vergenoegen Boxing Gym, was awarded the coveted best boxer award while GDF snared the best gym trophy once again as the event returned to its familiar stomping ground following a two-year absence due to the pandemic.
Fighting in the junior welterweight division, Hyman was in demolition mode over the weekend, stopping both of his opponents. First on Saturday night, the slick orthodox puncher turned back the challenge of Nadir Walker, making light work of his GDF foe in the first round.
