WBC, Boxing Board team up for historic event

According to wellknown boxing personality Boxu Potts, the event will mark a significant turnaround in the sport, focusing on education and training which it is hoped will create a platform for a booming boxing industry.

Potts, director of the WBC Caribbean and Central America Youth and Amateur Programme (under whose auspices the workshop will be held), said the local boxing board, under its chairman Dr Barry Ishmael, must take credit for the vision and foresight in conceptualising the ground-breaking event.

The other members of the TT BBC are businessman Symon De Nobriga, medical practitioner Dr Rochelle Mohammed, retired policeman Terry Young, and Cleopatra Borel, this country’s most outstanding field athlete specialising in the shot put.
