Winston Pompey confident as he leaves for fistic duties in Jamaica
Winston Pompey
Local middleweight boxing contender, Winston Pompey will leave Guyana next Tuesday for Jamaica to engage in a ten rounds contest against Jamaican, Sakima Mullings, two days after his arrival in the Caribbean Island. The local pugilist is confident of doing well.
Pompey affixed his signature to the contract yesterday and heightened training sessions at the Andrew Lewis Boxing Gym (ALBG) where he had resumed training sessions shortly after dropping a close decision to Lindener, Edmond Declou less than three weeks ago.
Pompey explained that President of the Guyana Boxing Board of Control Peter Abdool had been instrumental in arranging the fight. He said that he relished the opportunity to practice his trade Internationally and is confident of victory.
While Pompey boasts a record of 12 fights, 4 wins, six losses and 2 draws, Mullings’ record reads 5 fights with just one loss on debut. Three of his opponents never made it to the final bell. The Jamaican national has never fought outside the Island while Pompey has fought twice, albeit in losing efforts, in Trinidad and Tobago and St Martin.
Meanwhile, Pompey said that he is confident of winning the bout even though he knows little of his opponent. He admitted that Mullings has an impressive record but noted that most of his fights occurred in his backyard. “I am fit and ready and am going to take this fight,” said Pompey. He would be accompanied by his coach George ‘Canchi’ Oprecht.
