Troy Amos-Ross

I am a two-time Olympian, Canadian Boxing Hall of Fame inductee, and lifelong advocate for the sport of boxing in Ontario and across Canada. Over my 20+ year career, I proudly represented Canada at the 1996 and 2000 Olympic Games, achieved international success as the champion of The Contender Season 4, and appeared in the film Cinderella Man. Beyond the ring, I have dedicated myself to mentoring young athletes, promoting resilience and discipline, and creating opportunities for underrepresented communities. As co-founder of Gloves Off Rosé, I also bring entrepreneurial and partnership-building experience that I believe will strengthen Boxing Ontario’s long-term vision. Serving on the Board is an opportunity to give back to a sport that shaped my life, and to help ensure that future generations of athletes have the resources, support, and pathways they need to succeed.

Abdul Jouda

Since 2015, Abdul Jouda has been active in Ontario boxing as a competitor, coach, and founder of Boomerz Boxing, a non-profit club with over 250 members and 60 competitive athletes. He serves on Boxing Ontario’s High-Performance Committee and organized the 2024 and 2025 Novice Tournaments, each showcasing 300+ boxers.

He also brings over a decade of experience in financial services with TD Bank and Allstate. In the past two years, he has secured more than $120,000 in municipal-level grants and sponsorships to remove financial barriers for athletes, and he aims to apply these skills at the provincial level where greater opportunities exist. He believes boxing is a small family, and to grow sustainably the sport must first “water its own garden” by ensuring fulfillment for boxers, coaches, officials, volunteers, and supporters, while expanding opportunities for the next generation. He is committed to athlete-first leadership, inclusivity, and sustainable growth for the future.

I was born and raised in London, Ontario, and have built my career from the ground up at Provincial Glass & Mirror, where I now serve as President after more than 23 years.

Floyd Porter

Please be advised that my submissions are observations and concerns that I feel need to be addressed. They are “not meant” to offend or discredit any member of Boxing Ontario or its associates. I believe that some issues are my opinion and some are fact respectfully submitted.

Ontario Olympic Team

* There wasn’t one!

For the first time in the history of Boxing Ontario we had “NO ONE” representing Ontario in the Olympics. That’s the legacy of our current Executive Board. Unfortunately I don’t think they know what we as coaches need to develop National and International Champions and when we as coaches make suggestions or requests we are ignored or dismissed.

90 Day Registration Rule

* Why restrict “all” clubs because of the carelessness of a few?

* Boxing Ontario has no problem charging the full years registration price but eliminate 1/4 of

the participation time. If an athlete pays $160 but must wait 90 days to compete shouldn’t

they only pay $120?
