St Maarten’s Boxing Future in Guyana | Guyana News

Two teenage boxing stars from Saint Maarten, 16-year-olds Tahnicio Peterson and Samir Arndell, are heading to Guyana for the Caribbean Schoolboys and Juniors Boxing Championships — a tournament steeped in boxing history and personal meaning for their coach, Shawn Blair. Born in Guyana and once ranked number two in the welterweight division in 1993, Blair is bringing his homegrown talents back to his roots, hoping to ignite their potential through international exposure. This isn’t just about medals — it’s about building discipline, confidence, and global experience for young fighters. With Guyana’s rich boxing legacy and its role as a launchpad for champions, this event offers a vital chance for St Maarten’s next generation to shine on the world stage — especially after pandemic disruptions hit youth programs across the region.
