“Sangre Malo” to set alight Sports Hall

TIMES INT'L

The battle lines have been drawn as the highly anticipated clash now officially dubbed, “Sangre Malo” hosted by the Guyana Boxing Board of Control (GBBC) in collaboration with Next Generation Global Marketing, is expected to set alight the Cliff Anderson Sports Hall on January 20.
The Spanish term, “Sangre Malo” meaning bad blood in English, seems the ideal name for the mouthwatering bouts among three of Guyana’s top boxers and three of Venezuela’s best pugilists.
Some seven bouts have been billed for fight night which is seen as a patriotic battle for country pride. Current Caribbean and Guyana Flyweight Champion Dexter Marques will prepare to lock horns with Dionis Martinez and will use this bout to further prepare for his upcoming Commonwealth Title shot in March.
Marques will come up against current champion Jay Harris of Wales, United Kingdom in a bout set for March 31, 2018 at the Copper Box Arena, a fight being promoted by Frank Warren’s Queensberry Promotions.
Alongside Marques, is fellow Guyanese boxing star Elton Dharry, a world-class contender with a 16 consecutive wins battling Jesus Vargas while Dexter “Cobra” Gonsalves, Guyana’s current Lightweight champion dukes it out with Felipe Lares, capping off the three main fights on the card.
“The Cobra” much like Marques will also be using the battle versus Lares as preparation for his upcoming battle with Bahamian Lightweight champion Meacher Major in the Bahamas later in the year.
Both Next Gen and the GBBC promised a top card while the prelude to fight night will see a huge kick-off events along with chances to meet with fighters leading up to the match. Also it was confirmed that the fighters will have their official weigh-in on Friday January 19. (Clifton Ross)
