The Guyana Boxing Board of Control’s Battle of the Contenders card has been shifted to September 13 and will now be held at the Cliff Anderson Sports Hall.
The event was originally scheduled for August 30 in open air at the Banks DIH ground, Thirst Park, but the concerns over the weather have forced organisers to make the switch.
Sakima Mullings of Jamaica will take on Guyanese Dereck Richmond in a Junior Middleweight eight-round clash, while Iwan Azore and Dexter Gonsalves will meet in a Junior Welterweight eight-round contest.
Two other fights are carded for the night with Richard Williamson looking for revenge against Dexter Marques in a Super Bantamweight six-rounder rematch, and Jamaican Kemahl Russell taking on Guyanese Winston Pompey in a six-round Middleweight bout.
Mullings is fresh off winning the Wray and Nephew Contender Series in Jamaica and will be bubbling with confidence when he enters the ring against Richmond, who also participated in that series, but failed to make the final.
