"The countdown to one of the world`s biggest boxing events of 2023 begins now. The World Championships are a testament to Indian boxing`s unparalleled credentials and we, at the Boxing Federation of India, are geared up to deliver a spectacular experience. With the partnership of the IBA team, we are confident that the World Championships will help boost boxing globally. We are excited about Indian boxers making their mark on the global stage again and look forward to inspiring action in the ring," said Ajay Singh, President of the Boxing Federation of India (BFI).
The competition will take place in 12 weight categories-- 48 kg, 50 kg, 52 kg, 54 kg, 57 kg, 60 kg, 63 kg, 66 kg, 70 kg, 75 kg, 81 kg and +81 kg--and the registration will open soon.BFI and IBA will also be working to introduce a historic bout review system at the championships.
