Canadian boxer Marie Al-Ahmadieh fights Puerto Rico's Ashleyann Lozada Motta during the 2023 Pan American Games, in Santiago, on Oct. 25, 2023.Canadian boxer Marie Al-Ahmadieh has withdrawn from a last-ditch Olympic qualifier due to “unforeseen health-related issues,” according to Boxing Canada.

Al-Ahmadieh is the second Canadian team member to exit without fighting at Haumark Stadium. Victor Tremblay failed to make weight for his first fight in the 57-kilogram bracket. Mckenzie Wright, a 33-year-old from St. Davids, Ont., meets Argentina’s Aldana Florencia Lopez on Friday in a round-of-16 bout in the women’s 50-kilogram division. The Argentine won a bronze medal at the 2022 IBA Women’s World Boxing Championships.

Middleweight Tammara Thibeault and welterweight Wyatt Sanford booked their ticket by virtue of gold-medal performances at last year’s Pan American Games. Both were members of Canada’s five-boxer team for the Tokyo Olympics and Thibeault was a world champion in 2022.
