Terrence Poole National Intermediate Boxing Championships set for Oct. 25-27

– GPF makes donation ahead of event

The Terrence Poole National Intermediate Boxing Championships is slated for October 25–27, 2025, at the Cliff Anderson Sports Hall. Some 20 boxers from the Guyana Police Force (GPF) commenced training three weeks ago and are expected to participate in the championship.
However, ahead of the championships, Deputy Commissioner (Administration) Ravindradat Budhram recently handed over a quantity of boxing gear to members of the Guyana Police Force’s Boxing Gym, reaffirming the Force’s commitment to sports and youth development.

The simple but meaningful presentation took place at the Police Sports Club Ground, where some of the items were handed to the Police Boxing Gym’s Head Coach and seasoned national boxer, Dexter Marques.
Marques expressed gratitude to the GPF for the timely donation, especially as the young boxers are in preparation mode for the upcoming Terrence Poole National Intermediate Boxing Championships.
Earlier in the year, the GPF boxers proved their mettle in the local boxing fraternity as they punched their way to second place in both the Guyana Boxing Association’s (GBA) Novice Boxing Championship and the National Development Programme.
Meanwhile, the Terrence Poole National Intermediate Boxing Championships was initiated in memory of the Technical Director of the Guyana Boxing Association (GBA), who passed away in October 2024.
He had been a key figure in the boxing world for over 40 years and had dedicated countless hours to the sport, serving as a coach, competition coordinator, and mentor to future generations of boxers.
His passion for elevating the sport was evident in his various roles, including National Coach and coach at the Guyana Defence Force Boxing Gym.
