In the year of the Olympic Games, sports competitions have all eyes on them, and Boxing Canada is no exception.

This week, from the 10th to the 14th of January, in the Isle of Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, during the amateur National Championships, over 150 fighters, including 21 female boxers, will battle for the right to earn gold and it becomes the first step in officially forming the country’s Olympic team.

After 116 years of Olympic competition, this sport’s unprecedented highlight at the Summer Games in London 2012, will be the participation of female boxers in three categories, 51, 60 and 75 kg.

In the next few days, Canada will prepare to choose three boxers who will have the opportunity to earn the right to compete against the boxers of the rest of the planet at the China World Championships this coming May.

After China, eight boxers from the Americas and the Caribbean will be chosen. They will have a ticket to London, and thus a page with their name inscribed will be added to the books of the Goddes of Olympus. A total of 36 women boxers from the five continentes will compete in the Olympic games. Read More

Boxing Across Canada

The last 5 years in Canadian Boxing has been a lesson in attrition. This attrition was not caused by the boxing clubs or pro shows across Canada, it is created and caused by the political, medical, and economic vendetta’s telling society this great sport is unhealthy and unnecessary.

In Canada, prizefighting or fighting for money is basically illegal. The caveat around this issue is the use of boxing gloves and the permission of an athletic board or commission to oversee the events. In order to have a pro boxing show anywhere in Canada there are checks and balances to deter unethical promoters but sometimes it is these commissions and political lobbyists that are the unethical ones.
