With the aim of boosting their newly independent brand, the Associated Packers Industry has joined forces with the Guyana Amateur Boxing Association (GABA) to boost preparations for the Caribbean School Boys and Juniors competition
During the weekend of August 16 to 18, a group of Guyana’s school aged boxers will be competing against their regional counterparts at the Caribbean School Boys and Juniors tournament.

The locally hosted tournament will see participation from 10 Caribbean Countries with Barbados, Cayman Islands, Dominica, Trinidad and Tobago and St Lucia already confirming their intention to compete.
At a simple handover ceremony at the Associated Packers Industry office on Sherriff Street Georgetown, Deputy CEO of the company Marissa Bujan explained that the entity is keen on being a part of youth development, which resulted in their donation of various food items.
“On behalf of Associated Packers Industry we are proud to support such an event. We always support the idea of young people in sport as we find it very imperative for their development. This is the first of its kind for us to be supporting youngsters with our Premyum brand,” Bujan shared.
The Associated Packers Industry is currently in the business of importing and distributing food items such as rice, oil, milk and flour, mainly under their Premyum brand.
On the receiving end of the benevolence was the Guyana Amateur Boxing Association’s Assistant Secretary Treasurer Stacy Correia, who expressed the association’s gratitude to the company.
“On behalf of the GABA, we just want to say thank you for the donation, this will go in aid of the 20 boxers we currently have encamped at the Gymnasium for the upcoming Caribbean juniors and schoolboys competition. We just want to say thank you and we would like or hope that you would continue with your support,” Correia stated.
When questioned about the encamped pugilists, Correia stated, “Well, it’s coming slow but we are making strides.”
The Guyanese boxers will continue their encampment ahead of the competition next weekend. They are currently under the tutelage of Clive Atwell, Seibert Blake, and Lennox Daniels.
