India set to host World Boxing Cup final 2025 and World Boxing Congress

The new global boxing body World Boxing has awarded India the hosting rights of World Boxing Cup final 2025 and the World Boxing Congress 2025.

The World Boxing Congress is set to take place in November 2025.

Boxing Federation of India (BFI) will act as the host federation for both the events.

The World Boxing Cup Final 2025 is a highly anticipated ranking tournament that marks the culmination of three World Boxing Cups held earlier in the year.

This elite event will bring together the world’s best boxers to compete for top honours, solidifying their global rankings and leaving an indelible mark on the sport.

Simultaneously, the World Boxing Congress 2025 will host stakeholders, officials, and dignitaries from the global boxing community.

The Congress will serve as a platform to discuss critical developments, strategies, and the future roadmap for the sport.

"It is a proud moment for India to be recognized by World Boxing for hosting such prestigious events. This opportunity not only highlights India’s organizational excellence but also underscores our unwavering commitment to ensuring boxing remains an integral part of the Olympic movement. We are honoured to contribute to the sport’s legacy and look forward to welcoming the global boxing community to India in 2025," BFI President Ajay Singh said.

The hosting of these events is expected to inspire aspiring athletes, attract global attention to Indian boxing, and strengthen India’s position as a powerhouse in the international boxing arena.

With the tussle ongoing between banned International Boxing Association (IBA) and World Boxing for recognition from International Olympic Committee (IOC), the new body World Boxing is looking at India as one of the strong supporters to support their claim in front of the global body.
