Keen competition expected as Imran Khan battles Richard Williamson in ProAm card

Jan 18, 2012 Sports

 

 

Guyana’s two 2012 Olympic Games hopefuls, Richard Williamson of the Pocket Rocket Boxing Gym (PRBG) and Harpy Eagle Boxing Gym (HEBG) representative, Imran ‘Magic’ Khan will go after each other in the bantamweight division when action in the 20th edition of Guyana Fight Night boxing extravaganza gets underway at the Cliff Anderson Sports Hall (CASH) Friday January 27.
The two will resume their rivalry where each would have scored victories over the other in fiercely contested bouts. Williamson had clinched a 2-1verdict when they fought in February last year but Khan had rebounded with a decisive win in August after he forced the referee to halt their contest in 1:21secs of the third round. Subsequently, the Harpy Eagles representative went on to defeat his nemesis once again on a later card. The two have always provided top class action and this bout should be as action packed as those that preceded it especially since Williamson would want to solidify his claim of being just as worthy of Olympic Games representation.
Another representative of the Pocket Rocket Boxing Gym (PRBG), Joel Williamson, will be keen to resume his winning ways when he opposes Travis Hubbard in the 95-99lbs class. The young Berbician has recently been commended for his sterling contributions to the development of the gym by his coach, Orland Rogers when he reflected on the meritorious rise of several of his charges. The gym is currently preparing to host its Annual General Meeting to install the executive body for the next dispensation.
In total, there will be 4 amateur fights and Matthew Hollingsworth, a relatively young boxer of the East Coast Demerara based 5star Boxing Gym, will attempt to get past the more experienced Diwani Lampkins of the Forgotten Youth Foundation (FYF) Boxing Gym in the 100-106lbs class.  In the final amateur contest for the night, Quincy Gomes of the Young Achievers Boxing Gym (YABG) will tackle Randolph Singh of the HEBG in a lightweight matchup.
The boxers continue to benefit from the constant activity provided by their participation in the ProAm boxing cards and will receive the usual large food hamper provided by furniture giants, Courts Guyana Ltd.
The bouts, previously broadcast live, will now be subject to a delayed broadcast while admission price remains at $1,000 for adults and $500 for children.
Several corporate entities have teamed up to ensure the success of the card including Guyoil, Ansa Mcal, Singers and Digicel among others. Bell time on fight night is 20:00hrs sharp.
