President of the Guyana Boxing Association (GBA) Steve Ninvalle says that 2022 has been an historic year for the association even as it continues to forge ahead with groundbreaking initiatives at home and in the region.

According to Ninvalle, amateur boxing was facing a knockout at the hands of the coronavirus pandemic but bounced back off the canvas to have one of its more successful years yet.

“The year 2022 has been a very rewarding year for us, rewarding in the sense that we were able to bounce back after COVID-19,” he told Stabroek Sport in an exclusive interview.
