The first phase of the registration process, which is aimed at the creation of a new boxing gym in the town, will occur on August 3rd at the Post Office location from 12pm-5pm. The second and final phase of the procedure will occur on August 4th from 12pm-5pm at the gym’s intended location.

The quartet of Lennox Daniels, Seon Bristol, Lancelot ‘Wild Pine’ Easton, and Cuban national Francisco Roldan are tasked with supervising the impending procedure on behalf of the GBA.

Steve Ninvalle. President of the GBA said, “The expansion of the discipline is an absolute necessity for the association if the best talents are to be unearthed. Linden is a hub of athletic excellence but in recent time has stumbled in the sport of boxing. We at the association are confident , given the region’s rich sporting history, of extracting and nurturing quality talents from the community.”

According to Ninvalle, “This is another facet to our developmental scope. Infrastructure expansion is expected to be realised in this community as we aim to resuscitate the ‘sweet science’. As such, the expected infrastructure must be married with the equally important human capital that will be realised through our recruitment drive as we aim to not only revive a discipline that sadly has experienced dormancy in this storied region, but to re-establish and elevate the sport to its rightful and historical status.”

“This once again highlights our commitment to the evolution of the sport through a strategic approach, as we aim to spread our reach to various areas, regions, villages and communities throughout the breadth of Guyana. This is the only way we can continue to engineer success and create an assembly line of talents which will continue to sustain our evidential dominance within the english speaking Caribbean region. This is the way forward for the overall growth of boxing”, Ninvalle further stated.
