Cream of Guyana’s boxing stars on board with Briso Promotions, GABA amateur card

Apr 08, 2012 Sports

The cream of Guyana’s boxing stars have joined forces to throw their support behind the Seon Bristol and his Briso Promotions Group and the Guyana Amateur Boxing Association (GABA) amateur boxing card at Linden, which will be part of their Town Week activities, set for April 30.
The open air event will be staged at the Car Park in the Mining Town and will feature 12 fights involving the country’s top amateur boxers including several from Linden and those hunting Olympic glory led by Imran ‘Magic’ Khan.
According to information coming out of GABA President Steve Ninvalle, many past world champions and world rated Guyanese boxers along with local stars living overseas have thrown their support to assist the amateurs in displaying their skills and having valuable competition, a path they have trod in years gone by.
Among those lending support are: Kenny Bristol, Lennox Blackmore, Winfield Braithwaite, Brian Muller, Dillon Carew, Randy Tappin, Steve and Rawle Frank, Darius Ford, Vivian Harris, Wayne Braithwaite, Leon Moore and Elton Dharry.
Several other persons and US-based organisations have also chipped-in in various ways. Among them are Gym owner Kevin Smith, Mark Arthur of Copy King in Brooklyn, New York, Allison Butters CEO of Global Connections Consultants, Miss Trincina Sobers Managing Director of Children and Women Over Borders of the US and Delta Airlines.
Ninvalle said he was heartened on learning of the response from, especially the former boxers, who have come to throw their support to aid the continued development of local amateur boxing. He complimented them for this effort and said it will go a far way in helping the young boxers and also provide entertainment for the fans at Linden.
While some will get the chance to display their skills, the Olympic hopefuls will get a last chance to test their preparations ahead of the Olympic box off in Rio de Janerio, Brazil a few days later. They are due to leave or that event on May 2.
