Fight fans can watch Ontario’s top-ranked pugilists duke it out at the Golden Gloves Provincials Championships running this week in Brampton.

The four-day championship event will feature live Olympic-style boxing, featuring top qualifying athletes from across Ontario as they compete for the opportunity to advance to the national stage.

The championships will feature two rings and six competition sessions over four days. There are dozens of fight cards between Thursday and Sunday, and organizers Boxing Ontario say the event could be a stepping stone for future Canadian Olympic athletes.

“With athletes, coaches, officials, families, and boxing clubs coming together from across the province, this event promises four days of exciting competition and community engagement,” Boxing Ontario says of the Golden Gloves Provincials Championships.

Local Coun. Rod Power is president of Boxing Ontario, and the organization says hosting the event in Brampton is “an opportunity to celebrate local pride, support amateur sport, and introduce new audiences to Olympic-style boxing.”

“Boxing has an incredible ability to bring people together,” Power says in a release. “Behind every athlete who steps into that ring are years of training, sacrifice, discipline and determination. For some, this championship will be the biggest competition of their career so far. For others, it could be the beginning of a journey to nationals and beyond.”

The 2026 Boxing Ontario Golden Gloves Provincials Championships will run from Thursday to Sunday at the Brampton Memorial Arena, located at 69 Elliott Street. Tickets are $20 per session, or $75 for a full event pass.
