Stabroek Sports’ Boxing’s Hall of Fame -Our latest inductee is Adrian Dodson also known as Adrian Carew a boxer that was always destined for greatness
There are some who believe that Adrian Dodson should not be on my Mount Rushmore list of greatest Guyanese boxers.
Dodson was born September 20, 1970 in Guyana and is a two-time Olympian representing Guyana at the Summer Olympic Games in 1988 and Great Britain in 1992.
Because he refused to fight for Guyana opting to represent Britain at the Barcelona Olympic Games is one of the reasons why boxing aficionados argue that Dodson should not be honoured.
In 1988, the then Guyana Amateur Boxing Association had Dodson come home for trials to assist them in selecting their Olympic medal hopefuls.
Dodson won the vacant IBO World title defeating Paul Jones kayo round three March 3, 2001 for the super middleweight title.
