The Hosting Committee comprised Rampersaud 2021, Jeawan Persaud, Damo Dat, Bobby Mohamed, Sunil Maharaj, Sunil Bacchus, Jack Bharat, Navin Ramphal and Jack Rasbeharry.
“Since my fight got postponed my sponsor made it a home coming celebration for the last fight and all the fights and titles I won over the years,” said Dharry, whose Professional record read: 32 fights, 25 wins, 6 losses and a draw.
“It was a private event only by invite, everyone had to be vaccinated to attend,” continued Dharry who made his Pro debut December 26, 2014 at the Cliff Anderson Sports Hall when he beat Mark Fernandes and in his last fight on July 17, 2021 he knocked out Starlin Reyes Sierra.

“Jack Bharat and my sponsorship team will also try to set up my next fight in Guyana if everything goes as planned and we get the approval from the Minister of Health and the Covid Task Force,” informed Dharry, who won the World Boxing Council FECARBOX Super Flyweight Title.
Dharry has held the WBC Caribbean Bantamweight Championship, Guyana National Bantamweight Championship, IBF Intercontinental and WBU Americas Bantamweight Championship, and World Boxing Council FECARBOX Super Flyweight championship.
In 2013, his win against Rudolph Hedge of Jamaica for the World Boxing Union (WBU) bantamweight title made him the first Guyanese to win a world title on home soil.
The next year Gwendolyn O’Neil became the first Guyanese Woman to win a world title by beating American Katy Rivers to win the WIBA Light Heavyweight belt.
