Nine men and 10 women will compete for India at the Asian Boxing Championships that get underway in Dubai on Monday.
A crucial test of preparations for Olympic-bound boxers, the Asian Championships get underway in Dubai on Monday with India aiming to better their record-shattering medal haul in the event's previous edition. A total of 19 Indian boxers -- nine men and 10 women -- will stake their claim for the top honours, which will also come with an unprecedented bonus of prize money this time. The boxers reached Dubai on Saturday after a tumultuous few hours, which included a delayed landing and some confusion over approval paperwork. In addition, the team had to withdraw South Asian Games gold-medallist Vinod Tanwar's (49kg) name after he tested positive for COVID-19.More Related News
