NEW DELHI: The International Boxing Association (IBA) and Boxing Federation of India (BFI) on Wednesday formally signed the ‘Host City Agreement’ to conduct the women’s world championships in the national capital in March-April next year. The tournament is expected to draw boxers from around 100 countries, offering them a record-breaking prize money fund.
“India is very passionate about boxing and conducting the Worlds here will be the perfect opportunity to celebrate the innumerable victories as well as inspire many more women to take up the sport and popularise the sport more than ever,” said IBA president Umar Kremlev, who is on his maiden visit to India to finalise the dates of the championships.
