On February 28, 2016, then-head coach of Boxing Canada, Daniel Trepanier, confirmed to the Toronto Sun that the national team was actively working with Hykso and testing its wrist sensors ahead of the 2016 Rio Olympics. Subsequent reporting from Forbes and dot.LA confirmed that the Canadian national boxing team was Hykso's initial client and testing partner starting in 2015, providing grant support and test data to refine its motion-tracking algorithms.
