The 25-member Indian squad will compete at the Asian Boxing Championships 2022 in Amman, Jordan, with bronze medalist from the Tokyo 2020 Games Lovlina Borgohain and Shiva Thapa as the main bets. To make the team, both boxers triumphed in their separate trials at the NIS Patiala last week.

Mary Kom has asked the government for considering a younger boxer to be given permission to participate in the Target Olympic Podium Scheme (TOPS) rather than her. The only three female boxers that are now a part of the TOPS Core group are Mary Kom, Lovlina Borgohain, and Pooja Rani.

As he enters the ring on Wednesday after a year away from the professional boxing scene, renowned Indian fighter Vijender Singh says, "I always fight like it's my first." Up until this March, Vijender had an impressive 12-0 record since becoming pro in 2015, including eight knockouts.

In recent months, Nikhat Zareen has been on a winning streak as the Indian boxer earned a gold medal at the world championships in Istanbul, Turkey, in May, and then repeated the feat at the Commonwealth Games in 2022. Zareen also showed her flexibility by participating in both, 50kg and 52kg.
