The process went smoothly with all athletes eager to head into the ring to represent both country and self.

Director Terrance Poole has narrowed it down to seven international bouts with three females along with the four schoolboys bouts. On the brighter side of things, Guyanese such as Mark Crawford, Toolsie Persaud and others were included to the card.
