Boxing returns to Rose Hall with a bang

-

After two decades, amateur boxing made its ring return to Rose Hall Town last evening. The highly anticipate­d event which, had 16 bouts carded, was staged at the Rose Hall Municipali­ty Ground.

Last evening’s fixture saw the nation’s best youth and junior pugilists from gyms like Young Achievers, Forgotten Youth Foundation, Vergenoege­n and of course Rose

Hall Jammers matching gloves for trophies and medals.

In keeping with President Irfaan Ali’s theme of ‘One Guyana’, the Guyana Boxing Associatio­n (GBA) took the stance to decentrali­ze the fistic sport, hence the staging of the event outside of Georgetown.
