The National Women’s Boxing Championships will be held at the Gautam Buddha University (GBU), Greater Noida, from March 21 to 27.
The National Women’s Boxing Championships will conclude a day before the Boxing Federation of India (BFI) elections.
“As the first Nationals in the new Olympic preparation cycle, this edition will be crucial in identifying and grooming boxers for the next three years,” said BFI secretary general Hemanta Kalita.
The National Women’s Boxing Championships was originally scheduled for February. It was postponed due to the internal turmoil, due to which the elections were not held till February 2.
300 elite boxers are likely to take part in the National Women’s Boxing Championships, for which the last date to send entries is March 10 (by number) and March 15 (by name).
The previous edition of the nationals was also held at the same venue.
This year, the National Women’s Boxing Championships will be held as per the new rules and regulations of the new international federation, World Boxing (WB), to which the BFI is now affiliated.
It will include the following categories: 45-48kg, 48-51kg, 51-54kg, 54-57kg, 57-60kg, 60-65kg, 65-70kg, 70-75kg, 75-90kg and +80kg.
Boxing is still to be included in the Los Angeles 2028 roster.
