IN THE RED
CORNER….
Anthony De Beauville
With
just hours away before the Castries Market Steps
transform into a Caesars Palace type atmosphere,
the St.Lucia Amateur Boxing Association will
stage its most talked about boxing showdown
exhibition scheduled to commence at 3:00 pm
bell time.
Like previous outings in the town of Gros Islet
and the village of Denney which saw huge crowds
attending, Sunday’s blue and red corner
fights is expected to surpassed all expectations
as a record number of boxing enthusiasts is
expected to gather way before the 3:00pm start
in search of a perfect viewing point.
A number of the boxers on Sunday afternoon’s
card last year represented St. Lucia at the
Creole Boxing Championship in Gaudeloupe and
the Ronald Wilson Memorial Championship in Barbados
with a barrage of medals to their name. The
crowd favourite Lyndell “The Russian”
Marcellin will lead the charge along with Alex
Poyotte, Arthur Langilier, Miguel Auguste and
despite what is expected to be a humid afternoon
according to the latest weather update, the
four boxers mentioned above will certainly turn
on the heat a few more notches.
In terms of development, the SLABA will use
Sunday card to showcase not only their top boxers,
but some of their promising junior boxers like
Brad Louis, Jamal Mitchel, Joshua Brown and
Dimitri Charlery.

Meanwhile, Acting Interim
President of the SLABA, Joseph ‘Reds’
Perriera said, “Certainly we would like
to see the benefits from this Market Steps
exhibition. We hope that the vendors will
benefit, the general public will benefit and
the boxers will benefit from the whole occasion.
For some of them it maybe their largest audience.
For the Association, we would like to benefit
by winning the hearts and minds of the young
people, we are also hoping that some private
sector people or companies will come to watch
and in the not too distance future invest
in amateur boxing in St. Lucia.”
The St Lucia National Lottery is the main
sponsor of this boxing showpiece along with
Blue Waters and Monster.
The many boxing fans coming from near and
far to lend their support will see the following
matchup carded for the afternoon - Lyndell
‘the Russian’ Marcellin versus
Ron Bastien, Travis Maynard versus Yanic Leon,
Leroy James take on Alex Poyotte, Julian Agiou
will fight from the red corner against Arthur
Langellier, Kyghan Mortley versus Nyron David,
Mervin Phillip will look to fancy his chances
versus Joshua Brown , the experienced Miguel
Auguste will be up against Giovanni Ermay,
Dimitri Charlery versus Akim Griffith, Brad
Louis take on Jamal Mitchel, Heslie Louis
versus Trevor Lynch, Joshua Duberry will fight
Philus James from the blue corner and Adolf
