Kaieteur Sports – Abiola Jackman and rising boxing star Terron Wintz will step into the ring this Saturday at the Cliff Anderson Sports Hall as part of the highly anticipated Elton Dharry/Roger Saldana Pro-Am card.
Wintz, who was recently crowned the Caribbean Champion and also secured the Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS) title last weekend in St Lucia, is set to face Justice Joseph of St Lucia in what is expected to be an exciting international bout.
Meanwhile, Abiola Jackman, Guyana’s most decorated elite female amateur boxer, will take on Trinidad and Tobago’s Merlicia Durham.
Jackman was unable to compete in St Lucia over the weekend after her opponent failed to show up, Saturday’s match will mark her return to the ring.
According to Guyana Boxing Association (GBA) President Steve Ninvalle, these matchups are part of a broader strategy to provide Guyana’s top young boxers, both male and female, with consistent exposure to high-level regional and international competition.
“We want to use every available opportunity to keep our boxers actively involved, and so far, we’ve seen both Abiola and Terron perform exceptionally well on the regional and international stages,” Ninvalle said. “Their inclusion on this card reflects our commitment to sustained development and competitive readiness in the sport.”
Saturday’s Pro-Am card is being presented by Elton Dharry Promotions and NexGen Global Promotions, in association with the Guyana Boxing Board of Control (GBBC) and the Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sport.
Headlining the event is a much-anticipated 10-round clash for the Guyana Cruiserweight National Title, as internet sensation Laured Stewart squares off against James Moore in a showdown expected to be a fierce display of power and endurance.
Guyanese boxing icon Elton Dharry continues his march toward a world title opportunity this October, as he takes on rugged Panamanian Roger Saldana.
Adding further excitement to the night, international fan-favourite Keevin Allicock will face the toughest test of his professional career when he takes on Colombia’s Omar Cuello, while veteran campaigner Dexter Marques also returns to action, taking on Colombian Sammy Ramos.
The evening’s action will kick off with a stacked amateur undercard, curated by the GBA, featuring some of Guyana’s brightest young talents in the ring.
Ninvalle confirmed that the amateur portion of the card is designed to give local boxers meaningful exposure in front of a supportive home crowd.
The August 9th fight night is proudly sponsored and promoted internationally by Pine Grove Inn, Long Island’s premier destination for fine steak and seafood dining.
