India Parts Ways With International Boxing Association, Joins World Boxing

The Boxing Federation of India has agreed to become a member of newly-formed World Boxing, a newly formed international federation established to ensure the sport remains in the Olympic roster.

The membership application has been approved by the national federation’s General Assembly, and will be ratified by World Boxing’s Executive Board.

This development comes after the Boxing Federation of India President Ajay Singh met with the World Boxing’s president and secretary general to discuss ways in which India can support the international federation in growing its membership base in Asia.
