Women's International Boxing Association (WIBA) light-heavyweight champion Guyanese Gwendolyn `the Stealth Bomber' O`Neil has received the government's commitment for a house lot, $5 million and duty-free concession for a car.
O'Neil received this first hand from President Bharrat Jagdeo yesterday when she paid a courtesy call on him at the Office of the President, a Government Information Agency (GINA) release said.
The President repeated congratulations to Guyana's newest world champion and made a commitment that tangibly expresses the nation's appreciation of O'Neil's victory.
O'Neil will receive a middle-income house lot, $5 million to build a house and duty-free concession for a car.
O'Neil walked away the champion from an historic world title clash with American Kathy Rivers at the National Park on May 29.
