Boxing Canada high-performance director Daniel Trepanier resigns amid claims of toxic culture

Boxing Canada high-performance director Daniel Trepanier is resigning effective immediately.

The sport organization made the announcement on Sunday in a news release.

The International Boxing Association launched a review of Trepanier and Boxing Canada earlier this week amid claims of a toxic culture within the federation.

It called for an independent investigation and Trepanier's resignation.

Boxing Canada says it will engage provincial sport organizations in the coming weeks to strike a search committee to guide the process to hire a new high-performance director.
