Boxing Interim Committee pushes centralised training

New Delhi, July 9 (UNI) In a move to strengthen centralised training and maintain consistency across the national boxing programme, the Interim Committee overseeing the Boxing Federation of India (BFI) and the functioning of the sport in the country has reinforced its long-standing policy disallowing personal coaches and support staff at official national camps.
The directive is aimed at ensuring uniform preparation standards as Indian boxers gear up for major global events, such as the World Boxing Championships in Liverpool in September followed by the World Boxing Cup Finals in New Delhi this November and leading up to the Asian Games next year.
Drawing key lessons from India’s Paris 2024 Olympic campaign, the Boxing Interim Committee has reinforced the need for a centralised, high-accountability training system. Introduced three months ago, this structured setup- requiring all national campers to train exclusively under federation-appointed coaches- has already begun to yield results. Both male and female boxers have shown significant progress, with India securing six medals at the World Boxing Cup in Brazil and a record-breaking haul of 11 medals, including three golds in the women’s categories, at the Astana edition earlier this year.
