Answers in tomorrow’s issue

IN support of amateur boxing's bright future, DDL's Pepsi brand strengthened its partnership with the sport in 2023 through substantial funding that exceeded $1million.

This came as a timely boost for the Guyana Boxing Association’s (GBA) under-16 programme, which has benefitted consistently and consecutively from DDL since 2011. And, the Mike Parris- dubbed tournament has been extremely successful with the likes of Olympian Keevin Allicock and IBA world ranked sisters, Abiola and Alesha Jackman, being nurtured by the developmental initiative.

During a press brief and presentation yesterday at DDL’s Little Diamond headquarters, GBA's Assistant Secretary/Treasurer, Seon Bristol, called on corporate Guyana to fuel more success stories by taking a page out of DDLs book and support boxing development.

The GBA was awarded the sports association of the year for 2022 and the incredible figure of 16 under-16 tournament’s hosted definitely helped the decision.

Schemel Patrick, Brand Communications Manager, lauded the success and thanked, “the GBA for continuously organising this successful programme. This is our 12th year and we want to continue to partner. We pledge to continue supporting amateur boxing.”
