Boxers applying for an upgrade must have a minimum of 5 bouts with 3 wins in order for the upgrade to be considered. Upgrade requests must also include:
- A copy of the first page from the athlete’s passbook (picture & signature)
- Record of Bouts (from the back of their passbook)
- Rationale explaining why the upgrade is being sought
Please note, the application process may take up to two weeks to process.
The Process
Three members of Boxing Ontario’s High Performance Committee will review the application and render a decision based on the information provided. We understand there are many reasons a coach seeks to upgrade an athlete so please make sure to provide as much detail as possible. The submitting coach will be notified of the decision by email and if the upgrade is successful the Official’s Commission will be notified so the upgrade can be properly recorded in the boxer’s passbook.
If an upgrade request is declined the applicant may Appeal. The Appeal will be reviewed by two members of the Coaching Committee and one member of the High Performance Committee. If warranted, additional information may be requested. Results of the appeal will be delivered within two weeks.
