Nat'l Boxing Championships set to begin in Greater Noida from Dec 31 onwards

New Delhi, Dec 10(UNI) The Boxing Federation of India (BFI) will host the 9th Men's and 9th Women's National Boxing Championships simultaneously for the first time, bringing India's premier senior talent under one roof at Gautam Buddha University, Greater Noida, from December 31, 2025, to January 6, 2026. The official draw will take place on December 30, marking the start of India's next high-performance cycle.
Units from across the country will compete across ten weight categories each for men and women, in full compliance with World Boxing Technical & Competition Rules. Each unit is permitted to field one boxer per category, with no reserves allowed. Eligible boxers must be born between January 1, 1985 and December 31, 2006. All bouts will follow the global competition format of three rounds of three minutes, with one-minute rest intervals and the 10-point must scoring system.
The Nationals return at a pivotal moment for Indian boxing. The previous cycle, launched in early 2025 with the Men's and Women's National Championships, produced a generation of breakout athletes who rose swiftly through the domestic system, earned places in the national camp, and excelled at international tournaments. That structure culminated in India's best-ever performance- a record 20 medals, including nine golds, at the World Boxing Cup Finals 2025 in Greater Noida.
