Grant Burwash of Leduc is suing the Alberta Amateur Boxing Association for $100,000. Burwash claism the association failed to ensure the fight was judged fairly.
The bout in question took place at the Edmonton's Canadian Native Friendship Centre on April 26. Burwash took to the ring with Fort McMurray's Brent Marchand in the Alberta championship title, when Burwash was allegedly hit by a low blow. Referee Joe McGowan stopped the fight since Burwash was unable to go on. A tally of the score up to that point gave Marchand a split decision over Burwash.
Marchand went on to represent Alberta at the Canadian Finals and won.
