On Friday, Briso Promotions, in collaboration with the Caribbean Boxing Organization (CBO), announced a star-studded boxing card scheduled for Friday, December 26, 2025, at the Cliff Anderson Sports Hall (CASH).
At the announcement, leading figures in the Caribbean boxing arena voiced strong optimism about the sport’s expansion across the region while pointing to the highly anticipated boxing card.
President of the CBO and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Briso Promotions, Seon Bristol described the upcoming event as the realisation of a long-held vision.
“I am overwhelmed to be here today to welcome boxing fans – not only in Guyana but across the Caribbean and beyond,” Bristol said. “This has been a vision turned into reality, thanks to the many promoters and contacts I’ve made throughout the region. Today, the Caribbean Boxing Organization, in association with Briso Promotions, presents a Boxing Day card in Guyana. One of our key principles is to include all of boxing in our events, and I’m happy that both the amateur and professional bodies were eager to be part of this first card.”
In addition, the President of the Guyana Boxing Board of Control, Peter Abdul, praised the initiative while at the same time underscoring its importance to the sport’s development. “Promoters are badly needed in boxing. In fact, boxing can’t go on without them,” Abdul said. “Mr. Bristol’s initiative addresses many issues. It helps produce more fights, brings new promoters on board, and ensures sustainability for the sport across the Caribbean.”
Also speaking at the event, the President of the Guyana Boxing Association (GBA), Steve Ninvalle, assured that the amateur segment of the card would be strong.

“I can say without fear of contradiction that we will put our best foot forward,” Ninvalle affirmed. “Our South American champion Alicia Jackman will appear on the amateur segment of the card. Other bouts are still being finalised. Fans can also expect a much more comfortable environment, thanks to the government’s refurbishment of the National Sports Hall,” he added.
Meanwhile, Executive Member of the CBO, Dexter Pattinson, expressed confidence that the event – and the organisation’s broader plans – will draw attention across the region. He emphasised that the Boxing Day card is only the beginning.
“Our intention is to host bouts around the Caribbean every three months,” Pattinson explained. “We have members from the Bahamas, Jamaica, Grenada, Trinidad, St Lucia, and others. Our Bahamian representatives have been central to matchmaking and may serve as television hosts. The event is expected to be livestreamed, and our website, caribbeanboxingorganization.com, will feature all CBO-promoted events. We’re hoping to reach as wide an audience as possible across the Caribbean.”
The December 26, 2025 card marks the first official event under the newly unified CBO structure and is expected to bring together top talent from across the region, highlighting a renewed effort to elevate Caribbean boxing on the regional stage.
Thus far, Guyanese-owned Keevin Allicock will come up against Yendy Rodriguez from the Dominican Republic in the featherweight bout, while Guyanese Desmond Amsterdam will take on Wilson Fernandez, also from the Dominican Republic, in the super middleweight bout, and Terrence Adams from Guyana will clash against Anthony Joseph from Trinidad and Tobago in the catchweight competition.
