Knockout For A Cause is the North Shore’s first ever boxing fight night of its kind, featuring a wide range of contenders representing every industry. Coming together from a diverse set of backgrounds and experiences, contenders train for one reason: to support the community, and the causes near and dear to them. 

Anyone living in North Vancouver/West Vancouver, or working in North Vancouver/West Vancouver, can apply to be a contender, and fundraise in Knockout For A Cause. Participants may apply to KFAC as an individual, or as a representative of their place of employment. If your industry/sector has their eye on a similar business you’d love to face off against in the ring, this is your opportunity to meet them there, in the spirit of [friendly] community competition.

KFAC welcomes participants who have no boxing experience [or basic, beginner-level boxing experience], and are ready to start the journey to step into the ring. Contenders need to be a minimum of 18 years of age.

This is a high-intensity training process, and contenders commit to being in the gym, fundraising, and putting in the work. KFAC Contenders will have access to a custom membership rate for the duration of the training cycle. Contenders are expected to attend a minimum of three classes per week, in order to accomplish all of the respective Boxtech® Glove System Wrap levels, and related Boxtech® testing dates:
