This would mark the return of the tournament for the first time since 2019, and
according to the GBA, the fistic sport’s newbies from across the country would be engaged in battle from 18:00hrs nightly as the Association seeks to unearth new talent ahead of several regional tournaments.
Technical Director Terrence Poole has pointed out that medical check-ups and weigh-ins would be held on Thursday, June 23 from 16:00 hours at the National Gymnasium.
Several of the country’s premier amateur boxers had their origin in the ring via the Andrew Lewis Novices, which is held in honour of the former World Champion, who died on May 4, 2015 in an accident.
