Team Saint Lucia continued its dominant run at the Caribbean Trophy Tournament Friday night, with elite boxer Kyle Marcel delivering a standout performance to secure a place in the 75kg senior finals.
Marcel, seeking redemption after a previous loss to Martinique’s Anthony Mauge just one month ago, came into the ring with determination etched across his face—and it showed. From the opening bell, he unleashed a flurry of calculated combinations, quickly asserting control over the bout.
A powerful straight right hook in the first round sent Mauge crashing into the neutral corner, setting the tone for the rest of the fight. Marcel, demonstrating both precision and poise, maintained the pressure while protecting his early advantage to seal the win in decisive fashion.
With the victory, Marcel sets up a much-anticipated all-Saint Lucian showdown in the 75kg finals against Kyghan Mortley, ensuring at least one gold medal for the island in that division.
The Saint Lucia Boxing Association praised Marcel’s performance, calling it a “testament to the power of perseverance, strategy, and relentless training.”
As the tournament heads into its final night, five Saint Lucian boxers have already secured podium finishes, all advancing to their respective final bouts. With momentum on their side, Saint Lucia is in prime position to clinch the overall tournament title, continuing a remarkable campaign that has energized fans and reaffirmed the island’s boxing prowess on the regional stage.
