Athletes first

BFI Interim Committee: Acknowledging the structured effort undertaken by the Interim Committee to restore transparency and stability in the functioning of the Boxing Federation of India (BFI), World Boxing has extended the term of the Committee headed by Ajay Singh till August 31, 2025.

World Boxing had appointed an Interim Committee in April this year to run day-to-day affairs. The committee has ensured structured domestic nationals and followed by international tournaments across all age categories (U15, U17, and Elite) with complete focus on athletes' first approach in their initial term of 90 days and ensured Indian Boxing regains its lost glory.

In a letter addressed to Singh on Monday, World Boxing president Boris van der Vorst congratulated the Interim Committee for their ‘Athletes First’ approach that has ensured continuous participation of Indian boxers in major international events and successfully made podium finishes.
