With the theme being Guyana versus Venezuela, Dharry believed that the fight will be an important one for the Guyanese who are tasked with defending their turf while Dharry seeks to join fellow co-main-event fighters; Dexter Marques and Dexter Gonsalves in their quest for international gold.
“The Bully” said the upcoming fight was important to him as he’s currently looking to place himself in contention for a possible international title fight; following some 18 consecutive wins.

Meanwhile, Dharry’s coach Martin Gonzales said that his fighter was prepared to topple the Venezuelan come this Saturday, admitting that his student had been dedicating countless amount of hours in order to get himself fully prepared for the fight. The coach added that while they have seen footage of Garcia and were impressed, he still believes the Guyanese is the better man and will prevail victorious.
