The Guyana Boxing Association (GBA) will stage its National Intermediate tournament on September 18 and 19 at the East Ruimveldt Community Centre ground (California Square). The competition comes on the heels of the recently staged National Novice Competition which was won by the Guyana Defence Force.
GBA president Steve Ninvalle said that the Intermediate will be followed next month by the National Open; where after, a squad would be selected to go into training for the massive International Goodwill tournament to be staged here during the last week in November.
Defending Intermediate champion Guyana Prison Service is among more than eight gyms from around the country expected to participate in this week’s event. Last year, the boys from Camp and Durban Streets shocked the Guyana Defence Force into second place.
Action in the two-day affair commence at 7:00pm nightly.
