GBA extends condolences on Beckles’ passing

The Guyana Boxing Association (GBA) has expressed condolences to the family of former national welterweight champion Lennox Beckles, who died recently following a prolonged illness.
One of the finest pugilists from these shores, Beckles had stamped his authority as one of the best from the Caribbean.
Beckles battled the best of his time, including Jose Napoles, Brian Muller, Cesar Barrow and Johnny De Peiza, among an array of stellar boxers. Boxing and Guyana have lost a dear son. May his soul rest in peace.
