An exciting chapter in Indian boxing unfolds as a youthful and dynamic team of ten athletes prepares to compete in the prestigious World Boxing Cup Brazil 2025. Taking place in Foz do Iguaçu, this event marks the beginning of an international boxing season that will test the mettle of these promising fighters. Over 130 boxers from around the globe, including seasoned Olympians, will participate across various weight categories, vying for glory on the world stage.

While India’s contingent is exclusively male, focusing solely on ten men's weight divisions, their journey to this tournament has been inspiring. Most of these athletes earned their spots by excelling at the national championships held earlier this year in Bareilly. Notable among them is Narender, a bronze medalist at the Asian Games, whose presence adds a touch of experience to the otherwise green lineup. Jugnoo, who missed out on the top spot during the nationals, was chosen due to the unavailability of the reigning champion, Sumit. Meanwhile, the absence of female competitors stems from scheduling conflicts with the delayed women's nationals.

The spirit of competition extends beyond individual accolades, as ranking points earned at this meet could pave the way for qualification into the season-ending finals. Under the guidance of head coach Dharmendra Singh Yadav, the Indian squad aims to make significant strides in global rankings. Fans in India can follow the action live through the official YouTube channel of World Boxing, providing an opportunity for enthusiasts to witness the rise of the next generation of Indian boxing stars. This event not only showcases talent but also underscores the importance of perseverance and dedication in achieving greatness.
