Below is a statement by the Guyana Boxing Association
The Guyana Boxing Association (GBA) salutes the government of Guyana for producing a solid, comprehensive and transformational Budget 2022.
The historic amount allotted to sport will no doubt see further development in the fraternity and hopefully, will have a lasting impact on athletes and officials.
The GBA has been working closely with Minister of Culture, Youth and Sport Charles Ramson Jr. and wishes to go on record as being supportive of this budget.
With sport being put on the front burner, we envision an exciting and progressive time ahead for the local sport fraternity.
