International Boxing card on September 28th next at Durban Park. This is the first time a professional card will be held at the venue and yesterday at the launch of the event at Pegasus Hotel, the Guyana Boxing Board of Control (GBBC) confirmed their sanctioning of the unique card.
The feature bout will see a Flyweight 10-round fight between Guyana’s Dexter Marques and Colombia’s Jose Antonio Jimenez, who has 21 wins under his belt. Marques will use the fight against the Colombian as a warm up as he aims to get back into the World Championship Boxing (WBC) top rankings and he also posited during brief remarks that, “I do my talking in the ring, I am fully prepared and just waiting for the fight.”
In addition to the professional bouts, the Guyana Boxing Association (GBA) has signed on to provide four amateur fights that will see Commonwealth Silver medalist Keevin Allicock in action as well. Head of the GBBC, Peter Abdool, hailed the initiative and posited during the launch that such a project will see, “Our amateur boys having the opportunity to fight more frequently and in front of a large crowd.”
HJ Entertainment will be the managing some promotional aspects of the event and an after party is set following the “56 rounds” of fistic fury. The amateur bouts have not been released as yet but the professional fights are as follows:
