Argos Antilles has joined the National Sports Institute (NSI) and Samenwerkende Fondsen Cariben to support the development of a new dedicated boxing facility at the Raoul Illidge Sports Complex (RISC) in Sint Maarten.

The approximately 70 m² roofed outdoor facility will provide athletes with a safe and accessible space for boxing and fitness training, responding to a need identified by the St. Maarten National Boxing Federation, which currently does not have a dedicated facility for athletes to consistently train and develop.

The new space will also become a home for boxing within the Sport Unites! program, implemented in collaboration with the St. Maarten Sports Federation. Through this initiative, more children and young people will have access to a positive environment where they can stay active while developing discipline, confidence, resilience and a sense of belonging.

More than building a sports facility, this partnership seeks to create opportunities for young people, strengthen the local boxing community and contribute to the sport’s sustainable growth in Sint Maarten.

“At Argos, our higher purpose is centered on positively transforming people’s lives and creating long-term value in the communities where we operate. Supporting initiatives such as this boxing facility reflects our commitment to sustainability while creating meaningful opportunities for people to grow and thrive. We are proud to contribute to a space that will help young people develop discipline, confidence, resilience and a sense of belonging, while supporting the sustainable growth of boxing on St. Maarten.”
