Theresa London and Akesa Arokium leave for T&T national boxing tourney
President of the Guyana Boxing Association (GBA), Steve Ninvalle, is adamant that immense talent resides in the distaff fraternity that could be unearthed with the right applications and strategies. To this effect, more emphasis has been placed on these pugilists and two of them, Light/Heavyweight Theresa London and Light/Flyweight Akesa Arokium will depart Guyana this evening to compete in the Trinidad and Tobago National Open Championships following successful negotiations with Mr. Ninvalle and his Trinidadian counterpart.

The two boxers will enter the ring tomorrow night and their opponents will be known after the weigh-in process which will be conducted tomorrow morning.
They will be accompanied by National Coach, Wensel Thomas and Secretary/Treasurer of the GBA, Kesa Chase. Tournament Director (GBA), Terrence Poole said that the local boxers’ participation in the Trinidad Nationals is due to the ongoing cooperation between the two countries.
He reminded of two previous occasions when Guyana accepted an invitation from the Trinidadians to field a four-man team to box in Trinidad and Tobago which GBA officials reciprocated by hosting a similar number of Trinidad boxers to oppose their counterparts in a subsequent edition of the Guyana Friday Night Fights.
He said that the GBA executive is examining the possibility of initiating similar exchange programmes with other Caribbean countries as they continue to hone the skills of local boxers in preparation for the 2016 Brazil Olympics. London and Arokium return to Guyana on Monday.
