With the Princess Hotel towering in the background and the swimming pool adding to the tranquil ambience, a fair-sized crowd was treated to an exhibition of classical boxing last Saturday evening when the Guyana Boxing Board of Control (GBBC) staged its “Firestorm” boxing card at the Princess Hotel and Casino.
At the end of the seven-fight card in the wee hours of Sunday, four men etched their names into the annals of boxing history, becoming World Boxing Council (WBC)/Caribbean Boxing Federation (CABOFE) and local champions.
Touted as Guyana’s next world champion, Clive “The Punisher” Atwell, delivered on a promise to “tear up” his rival Rafael “El Potro” Hernandez, leaving the bloodied 30-year-old Venezuelan with two cuts above the right eye, which later required 14 stitches.
