“Everything is in place for this weekend. We are in the process of confirming all participating gyms, but so far, almost all are on board,” Daniels stated.
The veteran coach further confirmed that the nation’s elite talent will be on display, noting that the championships represent the pinnacle of local competition.
“I can confirm that every top boxer will be participating. This is our biggest tournament for senior and elite boxers,” he said.
Featuring competition across the elite, youth and junior divisions, the National Open Championships are widely regarded as one of the most important platforms for showcasing local boxing talent.
The GBA stressed that this year’s edition carries added significance, particularly for senior boxers, as the National Championship is viewed as a key stepping stone for athletes aspiring to transition into the professional ranks.
The association also pointed out that 2025 has been a landmark year for the sport’s development, highlighting efforts to expand opportunities for young boxers, strengthen coaching programmes, and provide more consistent competitive exposure.
Gyms from across the country, including the Guyana Police Force, Forgotten Youth Foundation, Andrew Lewis Gym, the Guyana Defence Force, and several others, are expected to field full-strength teams.
The GBA expressed its eagerness to conclude the year on a high note while setting a strong foundation for its 2026 programmes. A full list of registered boxers and confirmed matchups is expected to be released in the coming days.
