The Guyana Boxing Association (GBA) which ended last year on a high with the staging of its flagship national championships, has already started planning to host its first tournament for 2023.
President of the GBA Steve Ninvalle yesterday told Stabroek Sports that the GBA is lacing up its boxing gloves and will resume activities for 2023 next month with the staging of the Patrick Ford Memorial boxing championships which, said Ninvalle, will have an international flavor.
The late Ford, the first Guyanese to fight for a world title under the Golden Arrowhead, will best be remembered for twice challenging for world titles coming quite close to almost winning Guyana its first such title.
