JULY 6, 2022 | TORONTO, ON. – Over 615 athletes have registered for the historic Brampton Cup, setting a record in the tournament’s 39-year history.
The four-day tournament, hosted by Bramalea Boxing Club and sanctioned by Boxing Ontario, will be held at the Save Max Sports Centre (formerly Brampton Soccer Centre) on July 21-24, 2022.
The highly anticipated Brampton Cup is expected to welcome amateur athletes of all ages and skill levels from across Ontario, Canada, and the world, including teams from the United States, the United Kingdom, and Africa.
The 39th Brampton Cup, one of Canada’s largest and longest-running Olympic-style boxing tournaments, returns with much excitement after a two-year hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This year’s tournament will witness the largest amount of athlete registrations to date.
“We are beyond blown away by the record number of registrations for this year’s Brampton Cup 2022. We could never have anticipated the number of athletes ready for the bell to ring at our first tournament since 2020,” said the Brampton Cup organizing team.
With the official draw date quickly approaching on July 15, and due to the overwhelming demand of athlete registrations, it will be necessary to cap registrations for the 2022 tournament. The organizing team states, “As of today, we have over 600 athletes registered. With only three rings, six sessions, and limited officials and doctors, and in an effort to ensure we safely accommodate the current registered boxers, we will be closing registration immediately. We apologize for the inconvenience, but the good news is that we will be back with the 2023 Brampton Cup in February! We would like to thank everyone for their support and understanding.”
All coaches who are attending the Brampton Cup with their team must register on the Brampton Cup Tournament page. Coach registration is essential in order to receive the email invitation to attend two mandatory virtual events in advance of the Brampton Cup:
- Official Draw (Coaches): Friday, July 15 at 12:00 pm ET via Zoom. Coaches must verify that their athletes have been registered in the correct category/weight class prior to the draw. All teams should have a coach present at the draw.
