Systems are now in place for the much anticipated first ever Amateur boxing competition organised by the newly former Roberts Champion Boxing Gym (RCBG) on Saturday at the Matthew Allen (Stelling Road) New Amsterdam Berbice, as boxing returns to the Ancient County.
The gym, which was formed by former national multi-weight amateur and professional boxing champion Jeff Roberts, has organised a 12 bout card which will feature boxers from all three counties. According to Roberts two gyms from Berbice in the RCBG and the Rose Hall Jammers boxing gym of Corentyne will be adequately representing the might of Berbice as they move to defend their turf against the invading forces from gyms such as the Guyana Defence Force (GDF), Harpy Eagle (HE) and Forgotten Youth Foundation (FYF) among others.
Berbicians are expected to turn out in large numbers to take in the anticipated fistic fury in the programme dubbed ‘Berbice verses Georgetown’.
Box off time is 18:00 hrs. (Samuel Whyte)
