NEW DELHI: India won’t have any representation at the upcoming ASBC Asian elite men’s and women’s boxing championships in Amman. TOI has learnt the Boxing Federation of India (BFI) has decided not to field teams at the meet fearing sanctions by the International Olympic Committee (IOC). The event will be held from Nov 28-Dec 12 in Jordan.
India’s decision was largely influenced by the IOC’s diktat to all affiliated National Olympic Committees (NOCs) that any association of their national federations with the suspended International Boxing Association (IBA) would result in the country’s non-participation in boxing events.
