“It should be noted that this tournament will give great exposure to the local boxers who will be competing against regional opponents. At DDL, we are very happy to be associated with a tournament like this which provides gainful engagement for our young people who are the core of the Pepsi fan base,” Wills highlighted.
Wills further stated that Gatorade and Diamond Mineral Water will be readily available to keep all of the boxers hydrated throughout the tournament, which will feature boxers from Guyana, Jamaica and St Lucia.
