President of GBA, Steve Ninvalle, informed when contacted that he is set to write to the minister this week to seek a meeting promptly to discuss the submitted proposal. He disclosed that following those consultations then other meetings with be held with relevant stakeholders in the entire process. Heading that list are the Guyana Olympic Association (GOA) and the Guyana Boxing Board of Control.
The GOA, who has direct control over Olympic sports, will be a key partner in any programme the boxing association has and collaboration with them will be of utmost importance, while they will seek to enhance a joint venture with the Boxing Board to further enhance the activities of the young fighters.
GBA and the GBBC have been collaborating with regard to the Friday Night fights programme which features an amateur segment followed by the professional action. This has ensured constant activity for the young fighters along with overseas competition.
Ninvalle noted that this programme is a vital artery for the success of the development of the sport and to achieve the goals set out of medaling at the upcoming Olympics. The ensuing meeting will be crucial in putting the necessary mechanisms in place, including financial and other logistical necessities to ensure the programme works and results in the desired success.
