Great to see boxing getting this kind of recognition in India. But I hope the organizers ensure proper facilities and fair judging. We've seen issues in some previous international events hosted here.

Minakshi at 48kg is such an inspiration! She's been dominating her category. The mix of experienced and young boxers in the men's team looks promising too. All the best Team India! 💪

Hope the tickets are reasonably priced so that more people can attend and support our boxers. Greater Noida is a good venue choice with good connectivity from Delhi.
