New Delhi:\u00a0The world\u2019s leading boxers will assemble in India for the first-ever World Boxing Cup Finals 2025, slated to be held at the Shaheed Vijay Singh Pathik Sports Complex in Greater Noida from November 14 to 21.<\/p>\n

According to the Boxing Federation of India (BFI), the high-profile event will feature top global pugilists \u2014 including winners from the 2025 Cup stages \u2014 competing across ten Olympic-style weight categories for the prestigious World Boxing Cup trophy.<\/p>\n

Marking India\u2019s debut as host, the week-long championship represents a major milestone in the country\u2019s rise as an international boxing powerhouse. Following the success of the inaugural 2024 edition held across England, the USA, and Mongolia, with the Finals in England, India now enters the 2025 edition ranked among the world\u2019s top five nations, with 17 medals \u2014 four gold, six silver, and seven bronze \u2014 already secured this season.<\/p>\n

BFI President Ajay Singh said hosting the Finals underscores India\u2019s growing prominence in world boxing. \u201cThis reflects how far Indian boxing has progressed, both in performance and capability to organise world-class events. With India set to host the 2030 Commonwealth Games and eyeing the 2036 Olympics, this is an important milestone,\u201d Singh said.<\/p>\n

Earlier in the year, the 2025 World Boxing Cup kicked off in Brazil\u2019s Foz do Iguacu, where Indian men\u2019s boxers claimed six medals. Hitesh Gulia secured gold in the 70kg division, Abhinash Jamwal (65kg) took silver, and Jadumani Singh (50kg), Manish Rathore (55kg), Sachin Siwach (60kg), and Vishal (90kg) earned bronze medals.<\/p>\n

The second stage in Poland was followed by the third in Astana, Kazakhstan, where India\u2019s elite women boxers made a strong impact. Sakshi Chaudhary (54kg), Jasmine Lamboria (57kg), and Nupur Sheoran (80+kg) clinched gold medals, while veterans Pooja Rani (80kg) and Minakshi Hooda (48kg) won silver. Sanju Khatri (60kg) added a bronze to India\u2019s tally.<\/p>\n

Among men, Hitesh Gulia, Abhinash Jamwal, and Jugnoo Ahlawat earned silver medals in Astana, while Nikhil Dubey (75kg) and Narender Berwal (90+kg) picked up bronze, further boosting India\u2019s global standing ahead of the Finals in Greater Noida.<\/p>\n
