Home Sports World Boxing League in Australia: Team Mohamed’s sponsors Guyanese boxer...
Stephan DaSilva, a 29-year-old resident of Hope, East Bank Demerara (EBD), will represent Guyana at the World Boxing League (WBL), to be held in Australia on September 10, 2022.
Through Team Mohamed’s, he has been able to acquire the necessary financial assistance, courtesy of its principal, Azruddin Mohamed.
WBL is the real crossover of the semi-pro, pro, youth and master boxers around the world, and Da Silva is expected to use this opportunity to showcase his talent with the aim of crossing over to international boxing with the World Boxing Association (WBA).
His first participation at this level of boxing was in the Caribbean Games in 2015, and only recently, he participated in the Elton Dharry Boxing Card which was held at the Guyana National Stadium at Providence, East Bank Demerara. In that match, he knocked out his opponent in 37 seconds of the first round.
He was invited to participate in the Elton Dharry event by Guyanese professional boxing promoter Gairy St. Clair, the former IBF world junior-lightweight champion, who now resides in Australia.
Da Silva is expected to leave Guyana’s shores in the first week of August, and while in foreign territory, will undergo intense training leading up to the event.
Several other countries are expected to participate in this event, including Fuji, Pakistan and Australia.
Team Mohamed’s has extended its best wishes to Da Silva as he represents the Golden Arrowhead on the international platform.
