The Guyana Boxing Association (GBA) will host its Andrew ‘Six Heads’ Lewis National Novices Championship on June 24 to 26 at the National Gymnasium, Mandela Avenue.
The tournament is making a return for the first time since 2019.
According to the GBA, the fistic sport’s newbies from across the country will be engaged in battle from 18:00h nightly, as the Association seeks to unearth new talents ahead of several regional tournaments.
Technical Director Terrence Poole pointed out that medical and weigh-in will be held on Thursday, June 23, at 16:00h at the National Gymnasium.
Several of the country’s premier amateur boxers had their origin in the ring via the Andrew ‘Six Heads’ Lewis Novices, which is held in the honour of the former World Champion, who died on May 4, 2015, in an accident.
