Kaieteur Sports- The Guyana Boxing Association (GBA) will conduct a Youth, Junior & Under-16 Boxing Tournament on Saturday at the Andrew ‘Six Head’ Lewis Gym in Albouystown.

The one-day competition will include boxers participating in different weight divisions in the Youth (17–18 years), Junior (15–16 years), and U-16 (13–14 years) age groups.

Although a number of prominent gyms have confirmed their participation, such as the Guyana Police Force, the Guyana Defence Force, Bailey, Rose Hall Jammers, the Forgotten Youth Foundation, Vegenoegen, New Amsterdam Boxing Academy, and Pace & Power, the Pocket Rocket team’s comeback is eagerly awaited. They are expected to field approximately 10 pugilists across several age categories and divisions.

GBA President Steve Ninvalle said, “This much-awaited event will highlight the skill and commitment of young boxers around Guyana, nurturing the next generation of champions. It is a major investment in the future of boxing in Guyana, and the GBA understands how important it is to give young athletes the chance to hone their abilities, compete, and lay the groundwork for future success.”

He added, “This event is essential for discovering and developing future talent. It enables us to evaluate the growth of our young boxers and provide them the opportunity to succeed on a national and even worldwide level.”

“The future of boxing in Guyana depends critically on investing in our young people. In addition to giving these young athletes a competitive outlet, this event helps them develop self-discipline, teamwork, and a love for the game. Ninvalle added, “We think this event will serve as a launching pad for many outstanding boxers to do great things.”
