Organizers commence Boxing Day preparations

By Michael Benjamin
Following a thorough evaluation of the recently staged Guyana Boxing Board of Control (GBBC)/Giftland Office Max Nex Generation Boxing Card at the Giftland Office Max Mall, Liliendaal ECD, organizers have voted to ordain the venue as the official site for future boxing matches. As such, fans have been put on notice that plans are in train to host the traditional Boxing Day card at that venue this year.
This much was disclosed by Vice President of the Nexgen Global Productions, Aleem Hussain, at an appreciation function held at the fight venue last Friday evening. The function was graced by CEO of the Giftland Office Max Mall, Roy Beepat, newly crowned Fecarbox Champion, Dexter Gonsalves as well as the other boxers that had comprised the card, members of the Guyana Boxing Board of Control (GBBC), members of the media, those of the corporate community that had contributed to the card’s success and other entertainers that comprised a part of the show among others.
The organizers expressed sadness at the unfortunate mishap that has left world rated pugilist, Clive Atwell hospitalized and wished him a speedy recovery. “The (Giftland Office Max Mall) will soon be dubbed the official venue for boxing matches,” Mr. Hussain then declared to cheers of approval from the audience. He said that Mr. Beepat was extremely delighted to have played a major role in the recent promotion even as he promised that the company will be involved in the Boxing Day Promotions in a very big way.
In brief remarks, Mr. Beepat sung praises of Mr. Hussain’s astute marketing ploys which he felt was largely responsible for the commendable, all round support given to the card. “We have seen marketing talent at its best and (Mr. Hussein) has restored some pizzazz to the sport,” exhorted Mr. Beepat.
He said that when the Mall was conceptualized, the planners were bent on facilitating social gathering. He said that his executives will broaden this concept and later this month they will launch the comedy night show where local artistes can showcase their talent. The local businessman further said that the aim is to enrich the cultural talent nestling in the country.
He made mention of music icon, Eddy Grant and rising songster, Lisa Punch and consequently vowed to support their efforts to entertain Guyanese with indigenous productions. Mr. Hussein supported Mr. Beepat’s views and declared, “We will be blazing a new trail and will not be replicating our strategies but will always present fresh initiatives for public consumption,” he assured.
Guyana Beverages Company had donated handsomely towards the card’s success and one of its executives, Shamieza Yadram, congratulated the organizers on an excellent show. She said that her boss, Robert Selman, has recognized the value in supporting the card and he was certainly pleased with the outcome. “We are indeed heartened by the (all round) efforts of the organizers and participants and we have committed to future involvement in a big way,” assured Ms Yadram.
The media also came in for high praise and several journalists spoke on behalf of their institutions; Isaiah Chappelle pointed out that the National Communications Network (NCN) is in the forefront in its bid to broadcast local sports. “We are not only about politics as a great percentage of our coverage centers on (local) sports productions,” he said.
Kaieteur News was represented by its journalist, Michael Benjamin who dubbed the sports section of the edition as incomparable to none. “Our team of (competent) journalists spares no effort in transmitting the news to our eager readers and we are very proud of the number one status we currently enjoy,” he said. There were also high praises flowing from the lips of GBBC officials. “We the members of the (GBBC) are extremely delighted to welcome Giftland on board and we are grateful for your (indispensible) input,” said Trevor Arno.
The boxers also had their say and Dexter Gonsalves expressed gratitude to the organizers for promoting the card thus facilitating his championship status. Anson Greene, Imran Khan and Keeve Allicock also voiced similar sentiments. Each of the participating boxers also received a beautiful trophy in acknowledgement of their efforts.
The atmosphere enhanced great interaction and the guests were also treated to snacks even as a large television screen relived the card while highlighting the unceremonious conclusion of the main bout.
