Ninvalle appointed AIBA executive

…reckons benefits will soon trickle locally and regionally

President of the Guyana Boxing Association (GBA) Steve Ninvalle continues to improve his portfolio on the international scene as he was recently appointed to the Association Internationale de Boxe Amateur (AIBA) EC Bureau.
His appointment is a significant one since the Executive Committee is seated by four persons out of 202-member associations.
In his brief comments, Ninvalle expressed his elation over the elevation and noted that his presence on the committed will correspond with great benefits for the Caribbean and Guyana.

Meanwhile, the GBA president disclosed that a meeting which is expected among more than 10 regional boxing boards’ officials will be held on Saturday. Representation will be seen from AIBA as well as the American Boxing Confederation.
The meeting which was initially slated for September 9 was postponed due to the passage of destructive Hurricane, Irma.
Though the full details of the objective of the meeting have not been fully disclosed, it is understood that Ninvalle is chartering a course that could very well determine the way forward for the sport of boxing following the recent events at AIBA’s embattled president Wu Ching-Kuo, who sits at the helm of the sport, since 2006, has found himself in a power-struggle with the majority of his executive committee members who have joined forces to establish a temporary administration.
