Guyana versus Jamaica boxing showdown on June 8

TIMES INT'L

The intention of the Guyana Boxing Board of Control (GBBC) and the Jamaica Boxing Association (JBA) to have a solid and working partnership was aptly exemplified following the sealing of a deal to have a Guyana versus Jamaica five-fight showdown on June 8 on the Island of Wood and Water.

GBBC’s matchmaker Eion Jardine told the press last Thursday that five tantalising fights are billed for the next month’s card, with five Guyanese fighters set to represent the Golden Arrowhead in the land of reggae.
Heavyweight Theophilus King, welterweights Gladwin Dorway and Iwan Azore, middleweight Edmond DeClou and flyweight Dexter Marques have been earmarked to represent Guyana on the historic card, which will be the first to be jointly promoted by the governing bodies of the respective nations.
King will trade skills with debutant Jamaro Nooks in a four-round contest; Dorway will face Donavon Campbell in an eight-round exhange; Azore, the welterweight champion of Guyana, will face recently crowned WBC CABOFE welterweight champion Sakima Mullings in a 10- rounder; De Clou will put his WBC CABOFE middleweight title on the line against Anthony Osbourne; and Marques will defend his WBC CABOFE flyweight belt against Rudolph Hedge. A touring party to accompany the boxers will be announced soon, while a venue for the card is yet to be finalised.
