The World Boxing Championships is scheduled to commence in Liverpool, United Kingdom, marking the first edition under the newly formed governing body, World Boxing. This tournament is notable for bringing both men and women together in the same championship structure. India, coming off a strong 2023 performance with four women’s gold medals in Delhi and three men’s bronzes in Tashkent, is fielding a balanced team. Star boxers like Nikhat Zareen in the 51kg category and Lovlina Borgohain in the 75kg category will headline India’s campaign. Hosting the championships in Liverpool underscores the city’s growing profile in international sporting events.
