The cost was covered by the Guyana Boxing Board of Control, Atwell himself and the World Boxing Council.
Atwell indicated that he needed another surgery and this could not be done locally so he embarked on raising funds for same which was to be done in Trinidad and Tobago, but on his fund raising trip to New York in July he met Matt Furigo the CEO of Ring 10 boxing foundation who made the surgery possible at Kingsbrook Jewish hospital in New York ten months after its scheduled date.
Atwell related that during his stay in New York he visited the Roy Wilkinson Park where Regal was competing in the New York Softball Cricket League Masters and Open Independence Cup finals and met the CEO of Regal Stationery and Computer Centre and Regal Sports Mahendra Hardyal who promised to support the boxer when they returned to Guyana. Atwell said he is thankful for the assistance and congratulated Regal for winning both Masters and Open titles, adding that he was impressed with their discipline and team work. Atwell is grateful to the almighty and expressed gratitude to sports journalist Sean Devers, Gwen Williams, Matt Furigo, GBBC, WBC, Dr. Monica Sanchez CEO of Ms. Caricom International of New York, Fly Jamaica, Director of Sport Christopher Jones and the media.
