Strong Guyanese squad for Jamaican Boxing Card
– Andrew Lewis & Sakima Mulling to sign contract
A strong team of Guyanese boxers are scheduled to travel to Jamaica to participate in a professional boxing card organized by Jamaican promoters in collaboration with officials of the Guyana Boxing Board of Control (GBBC).
GBBC official, Eon Jardine said that several local boxers are scheduled to travel to Jamaica to comprise a card in the Island Land of Reggae scheduled for June 8 next.

Sakima Mullings, who has recently defeated Guyanese pugilist, Howard ‘Battersea Bomber’ Eastman, will battle with Iwan Azore over 10 rounds while Edmond DeClou will put his World Boxing Council Caribbean Boxing Federation (WBCCABOFE) Middleweight belt on the line in a 12 rounds fight against another Jamaican, Anthony Osborne.
WBC/CABOFE Flyweight champion, Dexter Marques, will also comprise a part of the card and he will take on the tough Rudolph Hedge in defense of his title. Gladwin Dorway, who recently suffered his first loss to Mark Austin, will be on the redemption trail in an 8 rounds Welterweight affair with Donovan Campbell while former amateur champion, Theophilus King will be making his professional debut in a 4 rounds heavyweight encounter with Jamaican, Jamaro Nooks.
Mullings last fought at the Princess Hotel, Providence EBD, when he employed a two fisted attack and defeated Howard ‘Battersea Bomber’ Eastman to claim the World Boxing Council Caribbean Boxing Federation (WBC/CABOFE) Welterweight title.
Shortly afterwards, the Jamaican called out former World Boxing Association Welterweight champion, Andrew ‘Sixhead’ Lewis saying that he was ready to take on the fight anytime and anywhere.
Lewis has recently called Mullings’ bluff and organizers of the Guyana Boxing Board of Control (GBBC) are currently engaged in discussions with their counterparts in Jamaica to bring the bout to fruition. Boxing Referee, Eon Jardine has been in the forefront of negotiations and said that the bout should be finalized soon.
Meanwhile, ‘Sixhead’ Lewis will travel with the Guyanese contingent where he is expected to sign the contract for the Mullings encounter. However, the date for the bout will depend on several developments including the result of Mullings’ fight in the WBC 50th Anniversary Cup championships early next month. The local boxers that will comprise the card are already in training.
