Greater Noida, August 8

Day 1 of the 4th Sub-Junior Boys and Girls National Boxing Championships kicked off with an action-packed session at Galgotias University, Greater Noida, on Thursday.

Over 80 bouts were contested as India's youngest boxing talents stepped into the ring full of energy and determination, as per a press release from the Boxing Federation of India (BFI).

The Sub-Junior Nationals stand as a crucial pillar in India's grassroots boxing ecosystem, offering young athletes a national platform to test their mettle and rise through the ranks. The BFI remains deeply committed to nurturing talent from the ground up, ensuring that opportunities, exposure, and structured competition are available across all age groups.

With initiatives like these, BFI is building a robust pipeline of future champions. Haryana (Girls) and Services Sports Control Board (Boys) enter as the defending champions, setting a high benchmark for this season's contenders.

In the girls' section, boxers like Hitaish Nahar (HP), Garima (HAR), and Naomi Kom (Manipur) impressed with dominant wins. Clean sweeps by Maanyata Chettri (SIK) and Lavanya Patil (Goa) caught the eye, while walkovers helped Vaidehi Chaudhari (GUJ) and Ekampreet Kaur (SSCB) advance.

Among the boys, strong performances came from the likes of Aryan Shekhawat (RAJ), Rehan Ansari (BIH), and Anmol Sharma (HP), who won their bouts with control and confidence, the BFI press release added.

The championship continues till August 13, with young boxers from every corner of India vying for pride, medals, and a place on the national radar.

As a mother, I'm so happy to see equal opportunities for girls in boxing! My daughter is inspired by athletes like Garima from Haryana. Hope BFI organizes more such events in smaller cities too - talent exists everywhere in India.

While the initiative is good, I wish there was more media coverage for these young talents. Our cricket U-19 team gets so much attention, but other sports struggle. These boxers deserve equal spotlight!

Wonderful to see boxing growing in India! The diversity of states represented - from Manipur to Gujarat - shows how sports can unite our country. Special shoutout to Naomi Kom from Manipur, keep making the Northeast proud!

BFI is doing great work, but they need better facilities in smaller towns. Many talented kids can't afford to travel to Noida for competitions. Hope they decentralize these events more.

So proud of these young athletes! 💪 Boxing teaches discipline and confidence - exactly what our youth needs today. Special mention to Lavanya Patil from Goa - small state but big talent!
