Olympian Keevin Allicock will be the first Guyanese boxer to step into the ring at the Commonwealth Games when he squares off with Kenya’s Okoth Nicholas Okongo in round-of-32 bantamweight action today, at the National Exhibition Centre (NEC) in Birmingham. Fight time is 2:15pm (GT time).
The last time Guyana won a boxing medal at the former British Empire Games, was at the 1990 event in Auckland, New Zealand, when Wesley Christmas claimed bronze in the bantamweight division.
