Weigh-in completed ahead of tonight’s Patrick Forde memorial fight card

This year's tournament will see pugilists from a total of four nations including Guyana, Trinidad & Tobago, St. Lucia and Barbados trading fists for top honours from 19:00hrs at the Nation- al Gymnasium, on Mandela Avenue.

Initially, Suriname were expected to participate with four boxers but due to the political climate and current curfew in that nation among other challenges, they were not able to make the trip to Guyana.

Technical Director Terrence Poole, during his address at the weighing-in, announced that this is a good- will event so there wont be a big issued if a boxer misses his weight marginally, "We will work with what we have."

Meanwhile, promoter Alford Robertson called for the fighters to do their best.

"I want you guys to go out and put your best foot forward. Hopefully, in the future we can have as many as 10 nations", he posited.
