As stated in the Paris 2024 Olympics 2^nd World Qualification Tournament Athlete Selection Procedure, box-off will be conducted at the March 20-24 Canada Cup in divisions where there were no athletes identified in the “Priority 1: World Qualifier #1 Top 8” or “Priority 2: Uncontested 2023 National Olympic Weight Category Results”.

The Priority 1 athletes identified at the 1^st World Qualifier were:

1. Female -54kg Scarlett Delgado
2. Male +92kg Alexis Barriere

The Priority 2 athletes identified at the June 2023 Box-off and the December 2023 Team Trails were:

1. Female -50kg Mckenzie Wright
2. Female -57kg Marie Al-Ahmadieh
3. Male -60 kg Justin Parina
4. Male -57kg Victor Tremblay
5. Male -71kg Junior Petanqui
6. Male -80kg Keven Beausejour
7. Male -92kg Bryan Colwell

These Priority 1 and Priority 2 results leave the follow weight categories as requiring for a box-off in Calgary:

1. Female -60kg
2. Female -66kg

These divisions were known to potentially require a box-off since December 2023 and communications to this affect shared widely.

 

Further to the information above, there are two additional updates:

1. At the competition registration deadline, only one athlete was registered in the female -66kg division: Sara Kali. Sara will therefore be selected as the Canadian athlete representing Canada at the 2^nd World Qualifier.
2. On the morning of Monday, March 18^th, Boxing Canada was informed that Alexis Barriere (Male +92kg) has pulled out of the 2^nd World Qualifier. In light of this very recent development, Boxing Canada no longer has a World Qualifier #1 Top-8 athlete to select for World Qualifier #2 in +92kg. This means that, following the published athlete selection criteria, the Male +92kg athlete will be selected at the Calgary Cup box-off as shared prior to World Qualfier #1.
