‘Seven out of 11 is great’

Overall winners from the Lennox Blackmore National Intermediate Championship pose with their medals and trophies.

The Guyana Defence Force’s (GDF) contingent of fighters were ruthless in their defence of the overall title at the Guyana Boxing Association’s (GBA) Lennox Blackmore National Intermediate Championship which came ended Sunday night at the National Gymnasium. 

Such was the dominance of the army fighters that they won seven of the ii categories on finals night.

Despite their dominance however, the story of the three nights of fistic fury was the standout performance from Forgotten Youth Foundation’s (FYF) Septon Barton.

Barton showed his class in the lightweight division to win the title and be adjudged ‘Best Boxer’.
