Sports Flashback: Margaret Canty

Updated: Jul 29, 2020

In this edition of the Sports Flashback Margaret Canty shows us the first belt she won as a professional boxer. In her first first title attempt in February of 1999 Canty was a heavy underdog against IWBF and WIBF bantam weight champion Eva Young on Kansas City. The fight was held at an awkward time of the day but she was ready nonetheless. Canty says the lessons she learned from that split decision set up a successful five-year pro career. Hear the story in the following video brought to you by the St. Clair College Alumni Association. Canty finished with a career eight wins and one draw.

This is why...

Powerplay Sports was born while on a trip to Italy in the summer of 2018. Walking through a charming pedestrian underpass reminded me of being in the tunnel at the University of Michigan in the early part of my career. That feeling led to thoughts of Windsor Lancers football camp opening in three weeks and all of the fall sports that weren't going to be covered because of cuts to local sports coverage by legacy media. 

With the support of a loving wife and family, I decided to create Powerplay Sports as a passion project.  

I've come across some great people who have helped capture the essence of our community throughout the years like Tony Techko, Tony Doucette, Scott Scantlebury, Dom Papa, Steve Bell, Will Hill, Jim Parker and Mary Caton to name a few. 

Please spread the word and follow along here or on social media so we can continue having the priviledge of highlighting our athletes, our community.
