India to host women's World Boxing Championship next year: BFI

The Hindu  

India will host the women's world boxing championships in 2023 in New Delhi, two years after the country was stripped of the hosting rights of men's event for not paying the requisite fee to the global governing body. "We have got the hosting rights of women's world championship and are looking to host the event around the end of March and first week of April," Boxing Federation of India Secretary General Hemanta Kalita told PTI. The hosting rights of the event to India comes as a significant development as BFI had lost the hosting rights of the 2021 event to Serbia after failing to pay the host fee, prompting the International Boxing Association, then known as, to terminate its agreement. Mr. Kremlev had recently announced that the men's world championship, to be held in Tashkent next year in May, will see the prize money go double from the previous edition.
