NEW DELHI: Boxing Federation of India (BFI) is facing an internal turmoil over the top leadership’s decision to host the sport’s World Cup Final in Nov 2025, with several key officials alleging that the announcement was made unilaterally without either informing the executive committee or convening a General Body Meeting (GBM) of members, TOI has learnt.
Earlier this month, BFI came out with a media release announcing India as host of the World Boxing Cup Final – a ranking tournament which will mark the culmination of three World Boxing Cups to be held in 2025. The hosting rights was offered by a Switzerland-headquartered breakaway body, World Boxing (WB), headed by Dutch Boris van der Vorst, to BFI president Ajay Singh during the recently-held World Boxing Congress.
