Lawrence battles Motta at Irwin Park

TT will face Venezuela in a twomatch series called “WBC TT vs Venezuela Part Two.” Lawrence, the WBC FECARBOX champion, will fight Venezuelan Edwin Motta in a six-round bout, while Stephanie Allen (TT ) will battle Rosana Colmenarez (Venezuela) in a four-round bout. Also on the card is a six-round tussle between national boxer Kevon Diaz and Guyanese Rudolph Fraser.

This card was previously postponed due to social unrest in Venezuela, which saw the Venezuelan team miss their flight to Trinidad. However, the Venezuelans are expected to arrive in Trinidad today.

This two-match series is a rematch of the amateurs. The Venezuelans held a slim lead over TT in their last visit to this country.

The card is sponsored by Siparia Regional Corporation, but the organisers are asking other sponsors to come on board and assist the boxers in this event.

In addition, Allen is calling on the Minister of Sport and Youth Affairs Darryl Smith for personal support, as she is from his constituency of Diego Martin Central. Lawrence is also asking Smith to support this fight.

The admission is $100 for adults and $50 for children.
