Nov 27, 2012 Sports

 

 

Four local amateur boxers will oppose their Trinidadian counterparts when the November edition of the Friday Night Fights gets underway at the Cliff Anderson Sports Hall (CASH) on Friday November 30 next.  President of the Trinidad and Tobago Amateur Boxing Association (T&TABA,) Cecil Forde, has recently dispatched a correspondence to his Guyanese counterpart, Steve Ninvalle, confirming that that his boxers will be in Guyana in time for the action this weekend.  He said that his executive has selected the final team which consists of boxers with a wealth of experience. Among them are middleweight Declan Calliste, a silver medallist at the Trinidad National Championships who also contested for a place on the just concluded London Olympics at the Brazil Qualifier. Leon Nottingham is Trinidad and Tobago’s National Welterweight Champion and he will also comprise a part of the team. The other two Trinidadians making the trip are national lightweight champion, also a participant at the Brazil Olympic Qualifier, Michael Alexander and National Junior bantamweight champion, David Gonzales.
The initiative is the second of an agreed exchange programme between the two Caricom countries. Local amateur boxers had recently travelled to the Twin Island Republic to compete against those pugilists with junior boxers Joel Williamson and Travis Hubbard winning their bouts, while Lightweight, Imran Khan and heavyweight, Jamal Thomas suffered defeats. The local boxers will attempt to win all four of the bouts.
Meanwhile, GABA Tournament Director, Terrence Poole, said that his executive will be selecting the four local boxers to oppose the Trinidadians by the end of today. He said that while there is a large pool of boxers, he wants to select the best of the lot thus improving Guyana’s chances of coming out victorious.
