New Delhi, July 25: Indian boxers showcased an impressive display at the World Boxing Cup 2025 held in Astana, Kazakhstan, securing a remarkable total of 11 medals. This haul included three gold, five silver, and three bronze medals, marking a significant achievement for the nation on the international stage.

Ajay Singh, the President of the Boxing Federation of India (BFI), expressed his pride in the team's accomplishments. He stated, “We are extremely proud. India concluded the World Boxing Cup 2025 in Kazakhstan with 11 medals, comprising three gold, five silver, and three bronze.”

Singh further emphasized the talent of the young boxers, noting, “The young boxers have truly impressed us. This achievement is a matter of great pride for our country.”

In recognition of their success, the BFI announced a prize purse of Rs 17.5 lakh for the 17 Indian boxers who earned medals at the recent World Boxing Cup events in Brazil and Kazakhstan. Gold medalists will receive Rs 2 lakh, silver medalists Rs 1 lakh, and bronze medalists Rs 50,000.

As India gears up for the World Boxing Cup Finals scheduled to take place in New Delhi later this year, the national core group is currently engaged in rigorous training at the Patiala camp. This preparation is crucial for two upcoming international competitions: the World Boxing Championships in Liverpool in September and the World Boxing Cup Finals on home turf.

Additionally, the BFI has received interest from China regarding a potential strategic partnership that would encompass junior, sub-junior, and elite levels, including opportunities for joint training camps and sparring exchanges.
