Boxing Federation Of India Names 19-Member Unit Ahead Of Thailand Open
Last Updated: The event is scheduled to be held in Bangkok between May 24 and June 1, with 10 male boxers and 9 women pugilists set to represent the Indian tricolour. The Boxing Federation of India named the 19-member unit for the 4th edition of the Thailand Open International Boxing Tournament on Thursday. The event is scheduled to be held in Bangkok between May 24 and June 1, with 10 male boxers and 9 women pugilists set to represent the Indian tricolour. The boxers have been picked from the elite national camp at the Netaji Subhas National Institute of Sports in Patiala. 'With the team set to leave for the Thailand Open, we're entering a very exciting phase for Indian boxing," BFI president-chairman, Interim Committee, Ajay Singh said. 'This marks the beginning of a packed international calendar, with the World Cup stage tournament in Kazakhstan, the World Championship in Liverpool, the World Cup Finals in New Delhi, and several key tournaments, including the Asian Championship, lined up towards the end of the year," he added. 'We have prioritised performance and transparency in our selection process—every boxer has earned their place through hard work and consistency. The national camp is already underway, and with the level of talent and structure now in place, I believe we are well-positioned to make a strong global impact in the months ahead," Singh elucidated. The BFI announced that it adhered to a selection criterion, offering opportunities to the silver medallists from the 2025 Elite Men's and Women's National Championships. Under the auspices of Asian Boxing, the Thailand Open will feature top national teams from across the continent, including strong competitors like China, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Japan, Korea, and host nation Thailand. The initial camp in Patiala gathered 60 male and 60 female boxers, selected based on their outstanding performance at the 2025 Nationals and the gold and silver medallists from the 2024 REC Combined National Talent Hunt in Rohtak and the Chief of Army Staff Cup in Pune. After a series of internal assessments, the pool was reduced to 40 boxers in each category. This refined group will continue training through June, with additional athletes from an upcoming Elite Women's Competition joining in July. The Thailand Open is a significant international event in India's boxing calendar, giving elite boxers a chance to compete against Asia's best, building momentum towards the World Boxing Cup later this year.
