Boxing Ontario

Boxing Ontario is the only governing body for Amateur Boxing in Ontario. As such, it is affiliated with the Canadian Amateur Boxing Association (CABA) and the Association International de Boxe Amateur (AIBA) and the Ontario Ministry of Health Promotion. Boxing Ontario was founded in the fall of 1972 and has seen a steady growth over the last 30 years. Currently, Boxing Ontario encompasses more than 80 clubs in 5 regions, 900 competitors and approximately 12,000 more recreational members.

As mentioned, Ontario is divided into five regions. The regional concept was initiated so regions could formulate their own administration under the guidelines of Boxing Ontario and further develop Amateur Boxing in all areas of Ontario.

Boxing Ontario Executive members are elected at an annual general meeting. Regional Directors are entitled to attend the Annual General Meeting where they develop association policy and elect the provinces executive.

Financially, Boxing Ontario functions through club and member registration, fundraising and in large part through the support of the Ministry of Health Promotion and Sport.

Operationally, Boxing Ontario owes a debt of gratitude to all the volunteers who give freely of their time and energies to keep the programs running smoothly.

Boxing Canada

The Canadian Amateur Boxing Association (CABA) is committed to fairness & providing a sport and work environment in which all individuals are treated with respect. Further, CABA supports equal opportunity and prohibits discriminatory practices.

Members of CABA and participants in CABA’s programs and activities are expected to conduct themselves at all times in a manner consistent with the values of CABA: fairness, team work, two way commitment, financial responsibility, achievement, athlete well being, athlete centered. Conduct that violates these values may be subject to sanctions pursuant to CABA’s Discipline Policy.

Premier Boxing League

Boxing Ontario and host clubs will be embarking on an ambitious venture. It is with pleasure, I introduce to you the Premier Boxing League (PBL). The PBL is an elite boxing series encompassing 3 teams and 5 shows. With the support of our members it is my hope to raise money for Youth and elite programs as we head toward hosting the Pan Am Games in 2015. Here is the format we will be following while we walk forward to this highly anticipated series.

To begin with, the Teams will be run out of Niagara Falls, Toronto, Brampton, with the individual finals taking place in Mississauga and team finals taking place in Peterborough. It is our hope that with the help of our members and Social Media we can turn this into a spectacular series, motivating our athletes to reach higher heights leading to 2015 Pan Am Games in Toronto.

In order to deliver on the PBL we had to select weight categories that are highly populated. For this reason we will be showcasing 5 weight categories in the elite male division. They are 60 kg, 64kg, 69 kg, 75kg, 81 kg. We will be selecting more than 1 boxer per weight category to make sure we provide the best show possible.

The event will be live-streamed on the internet to include a large viewing audience. Boxer interviews and pictures are integral to the success of this program. Team members will be expected to participate in social media marketing strategies to promote their team and the series. Team captains will be expected to use Twitter, and Facebook to engage boxing fans. I am working hard on securing sponsorship for the event and team uniforms. Athletes will be profiled in the media and through the PBL website.
