The Fight to End Cancer (FTEC) has always featured at least one female fight, since its inception, which more often than not turns out to be the “Fight Of The Night”.  Although only one hand is raised at the end of the fight, each of these women have exited the ring victorious as we became one step closer to ending cancer in our lifetime.

Selected from nearly 100 applicants, Mitchell trained rigorously for a Boxing Ontario Sanctioned Olympic-style match in 2023. His journey required not only discipline in weight management and strength training but also the resilience to overcome physical challenges, including a rotator cuff injury—a condition that can sideline even elite boxers. On May 27, 2023, Mitchell’s hard work paid off as he secured a victory in his fight, a testament to his unwavering commitment and determination.

A valued member of the Kingsway family for over five years, Mitchell brings his passion and firsthand experience as a 2023 FTEC Fighter to inspire and guide others.
