Guyana’s boxing ambassadors, Olympian Keevin Allicock and rising standout Joel Williamson, are set to depart for Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, today, to represent the nation at the Islamic Solidarity Games, a prestigious multi-sport event that draws athletes from across the Middle East, Africa, and Europe. This year marks the second time the Saudi Arabian Olympic Committee will host the Games, following its inaugural staging in Mecca in 2005. The event, jointly organized by the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) and the Islamic Solidarity Sports Association (ISSA), is designed to foster unity and excellence among member nations through sport. Both Allicock and Williamson are no strangers to the international stage, and their selection highlights Guyana’s continued progress in global boxing.
