New Delhi [India], August 17 (ANI): A 59-member Indian contingent arrived in Urumqi, Xinjiang, China to participate in the 3rd “Belt and Road” International Youth Boxing Gala – U17\/U19\/U23 International Training Camp & Tournament, scheduled from August 15-30, according to a release from Boxing Federation of India (BFI).<\/p>\n
The squad comprises 20 boys and 20 girls, supported by 12 coaches, 6 support staff, and 1 Referee & Judge (R&J).<\/p>\n
Organised by the Chinese Boxing Federation and the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region Government, the event begins with a training camp from August 17 to 25 in Urumqi, followed by the competition phase from August 26 to 29 in Urumqi and Yili.<\/p>\n
Only U-17 boys and girls are representing India at this edition. The boxers were selected from the 6th U-17 Junior Boys & Girls National Boxing Championships 2025, with gold and silver medalists in the Asian Youth Games weight categories and gold medalists in the Non-Asian Youth Games weight categories making the cut.<\/p>\n
Boxers will compete across multiple divisions. U17 boys and girls will contest in 13 weight categories – 46kg, 48kg, 50kg, 52kg, 54kg, 57kg, 60kg, 63kg, 66kg, 70kg, 75kg, 80kg, and +80kg.<\/p>\n
Participation in this international training camp and competition is expected to provide India’s young boxers with valuable exposure and experience against strong global opponents.<\/p>\n
In recent months, Indian Junior boxers have delivered standout performances at international competitions, most notably at the Asian U-15 and U-17 Championships earlier this year, where the team secured 43 medals and finished second overall.<\/p>\n
These results underline India’s growing depth in grassroots boxing and the promise of its next generation on the world stage. (ANI)<\/p>\n
