“Always wanted to give back” – CB1 Construction powers Boxing Showdown

Thirteen bouts will electrify the Cliff Anderson Sports Hall (CASH) this Saturday when the Caribbean Boxing Showdown, organised by the Caribbean Boxing Organisation (CBO) and Bris-O Promotions, takes centre stage.
As it leads up to D-day, several sponsors have thrown their support behind Saturday’s event, which will see a clash between Berbice’s Desmond Amsterdam and Linden’s Edmond De Clou being the headline bout.
One such supporter is Colin Benn’s CB1 Construction, who shared why he is in support of Saturday’s Pro/AM card.
“I was watching Bristol Promotions for quite a while, and I always want to give back, and I and Mr Bristol come from boyhood days. So, I see what he’s doing, and I think Guyana, as a whole, needs to honour our sons of the soil who are taking time to come back home and invest, and in order to encourage, I decide that this is my role that I’m going to play, in terms of encouraging him and encouraging Guyana to support local promotion, whether it’s boxing, athletics, football or cricket,” Benn told this publication.

On the receiving end, CBO President Seon Bristol expressed his gratitude to sponsors, promising Caribbean-wide coverage.
Bristol expressed, “I want to give a lot of emphasis to two outstanding sponsors who have been the first to come onboard. One Mr Colin Benn, CB1 Construction, along with Superbet. I can’t thank you guys enough; you’re here to see how we will represent your brand. And we’re not representing your brand only in Guyana, but throughout the Caribbean.”
