$47M Boxing Gym to be constructed at Angoy’s Avenue, Berbice

Director of Sport Steve Ninvalle has confirmed that the site for a new boxing gym at Angoy’s Avenue, New Amsterdam, Berbice, has been officially handed over, with construction set to start shortly. The project, costing just over $47 million, is being executed by A. Alli Construction Company and is expected to be completed within six months.
“This is another promise delivered by the Government of Guyana, and particularly by President Ali, who continues to show his commitment to the development of sport across the country,” Ninvalle said in a release.
Ninvalle, also President of the Guyana Boxing Association (GBA), highlighted the gym’s importance for Berbice, a region that has steadily become a powerhouse for local boxing talent.
“The Angoy’s Avenue gym will be the third of its kind in Berbice, joining the New Amsterdam Boxing Academy and the Rose Hall Jammers Boxing Gym,” Ninvalle noted. “In recent years, most of our up-and-coming fighters have hailed from Berbice. This includes Caribbean champion Terron Wintz, who has already made his mark on the international stage.”
The Director of Sport says the new gym will give young fighters a structured environment and help grow boxing across the entire country.
“This gym doesn’t just add depth to boxing in Berbice; it strengthens boxing across Guyana,” he explained. “More young people will now have access to proper facilities, and with that comes the opportunity to pursue the sport seriously.”
Ninvalle also expressed gratitude to President Ali for his continued investment in sports infrastructure.
“The President understands the importance of sporting facilities and the vital role they play in developing athletes. His support is invaluable, and this project is a clear indication of his vision for sports in Guyana,” he added.
Once completed, the Angoy’s Avenue boxing gym is expected to further cement Berbice’s reputation as a cradle of boxing talent, while giving the next generation of fighters the tools to chase greatness.
