GBBC Guyana Fight Night …Shawn ‘The Sniper’ Cox out to prove he’s better than (Kurt) Bess
The positive spinoff of the Guyana Fight Night boxing cards was effectively highlighted when Clive Atwell and Venezuelan, Rafael Hernandez squared off over 12 rounds for the World Boxing Council Caribbean Boxing Federation (WBCCABOFE) featherweight title just over two weeks ago. Atwell, who had been active in several ProAm boxing cards, has improved immensely and is now perched to make an international transition for more lucrative titles.

Several other boxers will continue their march for similar accolades when the Guyana Boxing Board of Control (GBBC) presents the 28th edition of the programme which once again attempts to enhance the fortunes of young pugilists and prepare them for the transition to the international stage.
The venue has been shifted to the Sophia Exhibition Centre and the card is slated for May 31st next. Shawn ‘The Sniper’ Cox has devastated several Guyanese pugilists including Wayne ‘Big Truck’ Braithwaite and Kwesi ‘Lightening Struck Assassin’ Jones and has been officially conferred with citizenship status. He returns to oppose Kurt Bess in a 10 rounds non-title heavyweight shindig and Bess has since vowed to avenge an earlier loss to his nemesis; that bout is the main attraction on the card.
Barbadian based Guyanese, Revlon Lake recently lost out to Clive Atwell for the local lightweight title. He will now oppose Trinidadian based Guyanese, Dexter Gonsalves over 12 rounds for the jnr/middleweight belt. Middleweight, Romeo Norville, will make his professional debut in a 4 rounder against Eversley Browne, while Laured Stewart will also engage in his first professional bout against Anton Greene in a 4 rounds welterweight affair.
The organizers are currently putting the modalities in place for the card and already they are predicting an action packed night of intense exchanges of blows.
