Abiola Jackman and rising star Terron Wintz are set to step into the ring this Saturday at the Cliff Anderson Sports Hall on the highly anticipated Elton Dharry/Roger Saldana Pro-Am card.
Wintz, who was recently crowned the Caribbean Champion and secured the Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS) title last weekend in St Lucia, will face Justice Joseph of St Lucia in an international bout.
Meanwhile, Guyana’s most decorated elite female amateur boxer, Abiola Jackman, will take on Trinidad and Tobago’s Merlicia Durham.
This will mark Jackman’s return to the ring after her opponent failed to show in St Lucia.
According to Steve Ninvalle, President of the Guyana Boxing Association (GBA), these matchups are part of a broader strategy to provide top young boxers with consistent exposure to high-level competition.
“We want to use every available opportunity to keep our boxers actively involved, and so far, we’ve seen both Abiola and Terron perform exceptionally well,” said Ninvalle. “Their inclusion on this card reflects our commitment to sustained development and competitive readiness in the sport.”
Elton Dharry Promotions and NexGen Global Promotions, in association with the Guyana Boxing Board of Control (GBBC) and the Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sport, are presenting the Pro-Am card.
The event will be headlined by a 10-round clash between internet sensations Laured Stewart and James Moore for the Guyana Cruiserweight National Title.
Guyanese boxing icon Elton Dharry will continue his march toward a world title opportunity in October, as he takes on the Panamanian Roger Saldana. International fan-favourite Keevin Allicock faces a tough test against Colombia’s Omar Cuello, while veteran campaigner Dexter Marques returns to action against Colombian Sammy Ramos.
The evening will also feature a stacked amateur undercard, curated by the GBA, showcasing some of Guyana’s brightest young talents.
Ninvalle confirmed this amateur portion is designed to give local boxers meaningful exposure in front of a supportive home crowd.
