“We’re happy that they could’ve chosen Guyana. They’re many other countries in the Caribbean they could’ve chosen. It also shows the close alliance that we have,” Ninvalle posited.
This is Prince’s first time qualifying for the Olympics after 4 tries. His journey to the World Games has been stretched out over 13 years and he is only the fourth Trinidadian amateur boxer in history to qualify for the Games.
Meanwhile, Guyana’s golden boy, Keevin Allicock, who will also be boxing at the Olympics, is expected to depart the Land of Many Waters next week, en route to Russia for a high- performance training camp.
Ninvalle, speaking to the media noted that, “On the other hand, Keevin Allicock is preparing to leave Guyana early next week for Russia to engage in a three-week training camp and then leave from Russia to go to the Olympics,” Ninvalle informed this publication.
As expected, the 22-year-old Commonwealth silver medalist will be accompanied by his long time Coach Sebert Blake, who has had a great influence on Allicock’s career.
