[POST-EVENT RELEASE] GRAND OPENING FIGHT NIGHT VOL. 1: A KNOCKOUT SUCCESS!

Posted on April 7, 2025June 23, 2025 by KBC Admin

Twelve unforgettable bouts — every athlete left it all in the ring in a night to remember.

We’re still buzzing from the incredible energy that filled the air on Saturday night as we officially opened the doors to our new facility and launched Fight Night Vol. 1 — and what a way to kick things off!

With 12 electrifying bouts featuring talent from clubs across the province and even representation from the Canadian National Team, this event was a true showcase of skill, heart, and community spirit. We were proud to host a packed house of supporters, athletes, and fans who brought unmatched energy to every round.

Most exciting of all, 7 members of the Kingsway Boxing Fight Team stepped into the ring and represented our club with grit, class, and competitive fire. From first-time competitors to experienced warriors, our fighters delivered performances that made our entire team and community proud.

---

FIGHTER FEATURES

Ted Nguyen Lam Cung

Ted stepped into the ring for his debut fight, taking on an opponent with three more bouts under his belt. Undeterred by the challenge, Ted came out strong, showing heart and determination from the opening bell. His opponent’s experience and composure gave him the early edge—Ted fell behind in the first round and battled through a bloody nose in the second. But he dug deep, made key adjustments in the third, and finished the fight on a high note. Though he didn’t get the win, Ted proved he’s a Young Bull ready to charge forward in this sport.

Markell Lee

Markell also made his debut, stepping into the ring against an opponent with four bouts of experience. From the opening bell, Markell showed he had the speed advantage, but his opponent’s timing and ring experience gave him the edge. Markell kept pressing forward, showing heart, but had trouble getting close enough to fully let his hands go. It was a tough matchup, but a valuable experience that will only make him sharper for the next time he steps into the ring.

Carson Blake

Carson stepped through the ropes to face a tall, rangy, and tricky opponent. He fought hard in every round, showing grit and determination, but was ultimately out-landed and outscored. While the decision didn’t go his way this time, Carson is already back to work in the gym, focused and preparing for the upcoming Quebec Open.

Alexandra Pistiolis Marinow

Fresh out of training camp in Thailand and still shaking off a bit of jet lag, Alexandra made no excuses—she showed up ready to fight. In just her second bout, she faced an opponent with four fights on her record. The opening round was tight, with both boxers landing clean shots. The second round continued with the same intensity—high-paced and evenly matched. Heading into the third, Alexandra responded to the urgency from her corner, applying smart pressure and throwing slick combinations that clearly took the round. Displaying both skill and grit, Alexandra delivered a performance that no doubt made her a strong contender for Fight of the Night.

Quentin Snowden

“That was a sexy performance” ~ Coach Virgil

From the opening bell, Quentin took full control, relentlessly pressuring his opponent in every round. His performance showcased just how much he’s grown, especially as he continues adjusting to the open class level. Up next, Quentin is in the running for a wildcard spot on Team Ontario—a chance that, if secured, will see him competing against the best boxers in Canada.

Andrea Young

Fresh off her gold medal performance at the Brampton Cup, Andrea stepped into the ring against another top-tier opponent—also a Brampton Cup gold medalist. From the opening bell, her opponent came forward with relentless pressure, but Andrea adapted quickly, using a sharp push jab and landing clean, crowd-pleasing shots. She secured a well-earned victory and, more importantly, gained valuable experience against a tough, aggressive opponent. Both fighters left everything in the ring, earning a well-deserved Fight of the Night honour.

Kwasi Amoateng

In our co-main event, Kwasi stepped into the ring against a seasoned veteran who has spent the last decade facing some of the best in his weight class. From the opening round, Kwasi showcased clear advantages in speed, footwork, and conditioning. His opponent turned it into a scrappy, physical fight, but Kwasi maintained composure and control throughout. With a dominant performance, he earned a unanimous decision on all scorecards.

William Bardsley

In our main event, “The Butcher” went to work against a slick, experienced opponent from a top-tier boxing gym. Coming off a tough training camp at LA’s legendary Wild Card Gym and two fights just a week prior in Calgary, he made no excuses—he stepped up and battled hard to the final bell. Though the judges awarded the win to his opponent, Will earned every bit of respect in the ring. Now it’s time for some well-deserved rest before he’s back in action soon.

COACHES REFLECTIONS

Virgil Barrow | Kingsway Boxing Club Head Coach, Boxing Ontario Provincial Coaching Team

“KBC’s first-ever Fight Night was nothing short of incredible. With over 400 guests packed into the gym, the energy was dope as our athletes stepped into the spotlight and put on a show in their home ring.

Our goal has always been to match our fighters against tough, talented opponents who push them to grow and prepare them for even bigger challenges ahead.

A huge thank you to all the gyms that showed up prepared—with boxers on weight, paperwork in order, and ready to compete. Shout-out to Stockyards Boxing, Siberia Boxing, King of the Ring, Blue Collar Boxing, Bodies by Dex, Tommies Boxing, Boomerz, Posteraro, and Delgado/Battle Arts for making the night such a success.

KBC Fight Night Vol. 2 is officially set for Saturday, July 12. See you there!“

Jennifer Huggins | Kingsway Boxing Club Owner, World Boxing International Official

“Traveling the world through this incredible sport has been a dream come true—but it’s the investment in grassroots development that truly fuels my passion to keep giving back. After 20 years in business and fighting our own battles—from the 2008 recession to the lasting impacts of the pandemic, a major move, and now the opening of our nearly 8,000 square foot facility—this fight night was more than just an event. It was a celebration of resilience.

Our motto, ‘Defeat Is Not An Option,’ has never rung more true. Sitting back and watching the dedication of our team—through every trial and triumph—was a reminder of how far we’ve come. Our coaches and athletes have grown stronger with every challenge. And as we continue to fight on the international stage to keep boxing in the Olympics, it’s moments like these that highlight just how critical it is to protect the dreams and opportunities this sport provides.”

---

Geoff Britnell | Kingsway Boxing Team Coach

“Competing in front of friends, family, and teammates brings a whole new level of pressure—something our team hadn’t experienced before. I couldn’t be prouder of how they embraced it and rose to the occasion, performing to the best of their abilities.”

---

TJ Mosher | Kingsway Boxing Team Coach

“Thanks to our KBC family, the energy in the gym was unlike any other club show. While not every decision went our way, our team brought that same intensity from start to finish—and we can’t wait for Volume 2!”

---

Thank you for being part of our growing family. The Kingsway Boxing spirit is stronger than ever, and we can’t wait to see you back at ringside. Stay tuned for line-up announcements and details on how to get involved — this is just the beginning.

Thank you to our sponsors who help power our team year-round!

🎥 ASCENSION: The Story Of Kingsway Boxing | Featuring Jennifer Huggins

Posted on December 20, 2022September 2, 2024 by Jennifer Huggins

Ascension is a short film focused on International Boxing Offical, Gym Owner and Fight To End Cancer Founder, Jennifer Huggins. The feature takes a look how her gym and community engagement has had an impact that goes far beyond the sport of boxing.

ACT 1: THE SWEET SCIENCE: A look into boxing for what it truly is. A sport. An art form and the sweet science.

ACT 2: THE STORY OF KINGSWAY BOXING: The formation and rise of Kingsway Boxing and Jennifer Huggins.

ACT 3: THE FIGHT TO END CANCER: The inspiration and creation behind the life-changing “Fight to End Cancer” charity.

ACT 4: THE COMMUNITY: A look into the community that Kingsway and Jen have built and inspired.

ACT 5: THE FUTURE: After accomplishing so much already, what’s next for Jen and Kingsway?

“The eight of us were tasked with doing a final culminating project for school. However, once we began production on this documentary, it became apparent that we wanted to do something more than just a school project. We wanted to make something that would resonate with the audience and tell the amazing story of Kingsway Boxing and Jen Huggins.”

~ Pound 4 Pound Team

About Pound 4 Pound Production

Over the last three months, the group that makes up Pound For Pound Productions has worked tirelessly on this documentary. There were many long nights and early mornings. However, their hard work was rewarded with a meaningful and passionate final product. The team put their heart and soul into creating this documentary, as this story deserved to be told. Pound 4 Pound Production comprises eight fourth-year RTA Sport Media students who were asked to participate in a university practicum project to demonstrate the skills they have learned in their three years. The crew consisted of David D’Amico, Frankie Iantorno, Cristian Sturino, Andriejus Simkus-Sukauskas, Marc Vicioso, Mitchell Cairns, Ben Botelho and Nicolas Ambrosio. 

The production team decided that a documentary would best fit for presenting the skills they had learned. From there, they decided to use boxing as the highlight of the documentary, as it is a sport that displays the skill, dedication and competitiveness of its fighters. At the same time, it had also become increasingly popular. One of the group members, Mitchell Cairns, who had been part of the Kingsway Boxing Club for four years, spoke about how incredible the gym and community were at KBC. From there, after interviewing Jennifer Huggins, the team decided to centre the documentary around Jennifer and how her boxing gym and community have had an impact on her that goes beyond the sport. However, once they began production on this documentary, it became apparent that they wanted to do something more than just a school project. They wanted to make something that would resonate with the audience and tell the incredible story of Kingsway Boxing and Jennifer Huggins.

Kingsway Boxing Club’s Commitment To The Responsible Coaching Movement (RCM)

Posted on April 12, 2022October 26, 2024 by Jennifer Huggins

Kingsway Boxing Club has entered the list of Responsible Coaching Movement Champions Recognized By The Coaching Association Of Canada.

At Kingsway Boxing Club, we are committed to maintaining the standards of ethics, safety and respect in the sport of Boxing, for all our athletes and coaches. 💪

By adhering to the Responsible Coaching Movement (RCM), we pledge to work hard everyday to ensure that the Boxing culture at our gym is safe and aligns with the ethics’ model.

To guide sport organizations with resources to embedding safe sport practices, the Coaching Association of Canada has developed a RCM Checklist that includes resources, templates and useful links. 

OUR PLEDGE…

🥊 Kingsway Boxing Club believes in providing everyone with equal opportunity, no matter the fitness level, background, age or size.

🥊 We will work to maintain the high standard of safety and ethics across all of our programs and ensure that the Boxing culture here is as welcoming and safe as possible!

🥊 We will encourage open dialogue between our athletes, coaches and community to ensure we are always improving building stronger and safer interactions.

Kingsway Boxing Club’s Acceptance of the UCCMS

The Universal Code of Conduct to Prevent and Address Maltreatment in Sport (UCCMS) is a cornerstone in ensuring all stakeholders commit to safety in sport. The universal code of conduct applies to all participants, administrators, athletes, coaches and officials who work within the national sports system in Canada. The universal code of conduct is meant to achieve a safe and welcoming environment for all participants.

Failure To Report

You have a duty to report that is mandated by law. (Requirements vary depending on provincial or territorial legislation.) An adult participant who fails to report actual or suspected maltreatment or neglect of any kind involving a minor participant will be subject to disciplinary action under the UCCMS. 

Child Protection Legislation

If there is an instance of child abuse and neglect, who is responsible for reporting this? Much like creating a safe sport environment, we all have a responsibility to report these instances. In fact, everyone has a legal duty to report these types of acts under Canadian child welfare laws. Adults are obliged to report child maltreatment if there is knowledge or suspicion that it is occurring. This is called the duty to report. 

Step 1

If you know of or suspect a child is being abused or neglected, you have a legal obligation to report it. 

Step 2

Write down what you have seen, heard or been told and by whom. Record your observations and any actions you took. 

Step 3

Act quickly. (Do not wait for days or weeks.) You must report this maltreatment to: 

• Local police
• Local child welfare services (e.g., Children’s Aid Society or child and family service agencies) 
  • You can submit an online report of maltreatment to the Canadian Centre for Child Protection as well 
  • However, even if you make a report to it, you must also contact local authorities 
• Provincial or territorial social service ministries or departments

Dear Sport administrators and Coaches,
As the leaves change and we embrace the cooler weather, we’re excited to bring you the latest updates and resources to support your coaching journey. This season, we’re thrilled to introduce two brand-new resources as well as the next RCM Webinar designed to enhance your coaching experience and help you achieve even greater success with your teams.

Introducing the Quality Coaching Toolkit We are excited to unveil the Quality Coaching Toolkit, a comprehensive resource designed to enhance coaching practices and foster positive sport environments. This toolkit provides evidence-based strategies to promote safe, inclusive, and supportive coaching, ensuring athletes’ holistic development and well-being. Dive into practical tips, reflection activities, and innovative methods to elevate your coaching and create a positive thriving sport experience for all participants. Four interacting attributes of a positive sport environment were discussed by the 24 coaches and athletes who were interviewed in the research study.

The research provides evidence that athletes can succeed in positive sport environments. This is important because it refutes beliefs that coaches need to use abusive tactics like yelling, belittling, and command and control methods. One of the most remarkable findings from this research was that the participants’ definition of success extended beyond medal performance. ACCESS THE QUALITY COACHING TOOLKIT

PAUSE and REFLECTION

As we think back to the conversations and events we have participated in this fall, we recognize it is ever important to take time to pause and reflect on a few key issues facing the sport environment. Safe sport continues to be one of the most prevalent issues in Canadian sport. The absence of harm in the sport experience is not good enough. A values-based approach will help foster a sport culture that leaves far less room for harm and provides a greater chance for sport to deliver on its potential.

Take time to read and reflect on the following definitions as you consider the role you can play in changing the culture of sport and bringing values to the forefront.

Safe Sport: A set of policies, procedures, training, and practices that are implemented by the organization to prevent maltreatment and protect its members. Safe Sport involves the reasonable expectation that the sport environment will be free from all forms of maltreatment (i.e., abuse, neglect, bullying, harassment, and discrimination) and that it will be accessible, safe, welcoming, and inclusive.

Sport Safety: The ability to understand the factors that contribute to physical and mental health and well-being as well as physical and psychological safety including, but not limited to, environments that promote safety through education and prevention and are free of abuse, harassment, discrimination, and neglect. Sport Safety incorporates a culture of empathy, inclusion, belonging, and excellence, and one that coaches and officials strive to implement within their training and competition environments. 

Values-Based Sport: Sport that places values at the heart of all policies, practices, and programs to ensure that positive experiences foster a culture of good sport in the long term.

True Sport: An initiative of the Canadian Centre for Ethics in Sport that promotes an approach to values-based sport that is underpinned by seven principles. When “Go For It, Play Fair, Respect Others, Keep It Fun, Stay Healthy, Include Everyone, and Give Back” are intentionally and consistently activated in sport environments, it creates positive sport experiences and leads to a good sport culture.

Responsible Coaching Movement (RCM): A call to action for sport organizations and coaches to maximize the positive benefits of sport through values-based coaching. The RCM is a Canada-wide initiative that is the result of ongoing consultations with the Canadian sport community developed in partnership by the Canadian Centre for Ethics in Sport and the Coaching Association of Canada. It includes three distinct pillars and values, each serving to create a sport environment that is Safe, Smart, and Secure.

According to the basic tenets of the socio-ecological model to inform safe sport (figure below), everyone has a role to play in the movement. This model demonstrates the overlapping influence that numerous people and organizations have over safe sport outcomes. For example, Register-Mihalik et. al. argue that this model offers different avenues for understanding the interplay between levels of society and sport, which can be used to provide education aimed at preventing sport-related concussions.  If we use this same model to identify the risk factors in broader safe sport issues, we can target better methods for other community members, such as the sport organizers and government legislators, to impact the implementation of safe sport in the years to come.

CULTURE CHANGE WITHIN THE CANADIAN SPORT SYSTEM: PRACTICAL EXAMPLES FROM SPORT ORGANIZATIONS THAT ARE USING A TRUE SPORT APPROACH TO ACHIEVE SAFER SPORT

In Canada, a fundamental change in culture is required across the sport system to minimize the threats to sport and ensure a safe sport experience for all. True Sport is an approach to values-based sport that is underpinned by seven principles: Go For It, Play Fair, Respect Others, Keep It Fun, Stay Healthy, Include Everyone and Give Back. A good sport experience, one that reflects the True Sport approach, can instill character in our children, strengthen the communities where it is played, and increase opportunities for personal and podium excellence. Good sport doesn’t happen by chance, it takes intentionality. Groups such as Sport Nova Scotia, Gymnastics Canada, BC Artistic Swimming and Field Hockey Canada are actioning True Sport as a holistic, preventative, and positive approach in their safe sport strategies. They also understand that the absence of harm isn’t good enough; learn more about their journeys to deliver the kind of sport Canadians want.
 
In addition to providing athletes with sport-specific skills, coaches are also in a unique and privileged position of power. The Responsible Coaching Movement aims to protect athletes and coaches from unethical and illegal behaviour through the implementation of measures such as: the Rule of Two and background screening and ethics training. The RCM recognizes the impact that coaching can have on athletes which is why the RCM seeks to have coaches consider how they coach, not just what they coach. Through this initiative, the difference between a safe sport environment and one that elicits positive growth and personal development can be achieved. Following the introduction of the rule of two, background screening and ethics training, the next phase of the RCM focuses on identifying and addressing negative coaching behaviours, while moving toward positive coaching behaviours that can play sports a more welcoming and inclusive environment.

True Sport is an approach to values-based sport that is underpinned by seven principles. When “Go For It, Play Fair, Respect Others, Keep It Fun, Stay Healthy, Include Everyone, and Give Back” are intentionally and consistently activated on and off the field of play, it creates positive sport experiences and leads to a culture of good sport. 

Foster a values-based approach to sport by activating the True Sport Principles.
