Local Middleweight champion, Derck Richmond receives his championship belt
Derck Richmond’s recent rise to fame after dealing Caribbean Boxing Federation Middleweight champion, Edmond Declou a vicious left hook that sent him tumbling to the deck and sustaining a broken jaw.
Richmond sports his belt moments after it was strapped around his shoulders.
Shortly afterwards, the pugilist from Berbice tackled seasoned contender, James ‘Sack’ Walcott and flattened him with one of his famed left hooks, thus winning the local Middleweight title.
However, more than one month later, he was still to receive his belt and complained after claiming that his queries to the executive of the Guyana Boxing Board of Control (GBBC) for the accolade proved fruitless.
Kaieteur News had sought an explanation from officials of the ruling body and they had promised to hand over the belt as early as possible. True to their word those officials handed over the belt to Richmond shortly before he departed Guyana for ‘The Contender’ series scheduled to get underway within a week in Reggae Island, Jamaica.
