Amateur Boxers for final DDL/GBA showdown

Dec 14, 2013 Sports

 

Some of the finest young boxers to emerge out of the Demerara Distillers Ltd/Guyana Boxing Association U-16 boxing tournaments will grace the ring this morning in highly anticipated slugfests when the ruling entity stages the final version of that tournament for the year at the Andrew ‘Sixhead’ Lewis Boxing Gym (ALBG) starting at 11:00hrs this morning.
The tournament will conclude tomorrow morning after which the executive of the GBA will host their prize giving ceremony that will see boxers, administrators, sponsors and other deserving affiliates receiving special awards for their input into the development of the sport. While the GBA executive was mum on the recipients of awards, Tournament Director, Terrence Poole intimated that a wide cross section of the affiliates will be acknowledged.
Already they have decided to reward the most disciplined Gym as well as the best referee/judge and the most improved senior and junior boxers. Officials said that they will also acknowledge those corporate entities that have contributed to the sustenance of the sport. There will also be a prize for the best journalist and the best coach among others.
Meanwhile, the number of bouts scheduled for this morning will be known following the completion of the weigh in ceremony. GBA executives said that they are very thankful for the input of the DDL in nurturing their nursery. The beverage entity has exclusively sponsored tournaments in Linden, Berbice and Georgetown that enabled the young boxers making their debut on the public stage to display their skills.
