The Rose Hall Jammers and prospect Keon Britton earned the marquee accolades when the Guyana Boxing Association (GBA) staged its Pepsi/Mike Parris School Boys and Juniors championships yesterday at the Andrew ‘Sixhead’ Lewis Gym.

Britton, a standout from the Vergenoegen Boxing Gym (VBG), punched his way to a second round stoppage of Jaden Lewis and then returned to the ring to outbox Curtis McDonald in a thriller to earn the coveted best boxer award at the event.
