Hemanta Kalita Asked Lovlina To Withdraw From Women's Nationals, Alleges BFI Chief Ajay Singh
Assam Amateur Boxing Association: Boxing Federation of India (BFI) chief Ajay Singh alleged that Tokyo Olympic bronze-winner Lovlina Borgohain and other boxers from Assam have been asked, by suspended BFI secretary general Hemanta Kalita, not to participate in the Women's National Championships, starting from March 21.
BFI conducted an emergency press conference on Wednesday in the national capital, where the BFI chief alleged that Kalita, who is secretary of the Assam Amateur Boxing Association, asked Lovlina not to participate in the upcoming nationals, after which the Olympic medallist is considering her participation in the tournament.
"Assam is discouraging players from participating in the women's Nationals. Lovlina has recorded a video of support. But officers have received a call that she has been asked by Hemanta Kalita not to participate. Because she owes a lot to Assam boxing, she is reconsidering her participation," Singh told reporters.
