India To Host Elite Men’s World Boxing Championship In 2021:- Besides conducting the Women’s World Championship for the second time next year, the International Boxing Association (AIBA) has made a new announcement, at the end of its two-day executive committee meeting in Moscow.

India will host the elite men’s World boxing Championship in 2021. This will be the first historic for Indian boxing.

AIBA President Dr Ching Kuo Wu said in a statement, “…we are delighted to have the AIBA Men’s World Championships 2019 confirmed for Sochi, and equally excited to announce New Delhi as host city in 2021 as the Boxing Federation of India continues to show its commitment to developing the sport.”

“Following the presentation of the Turkish Boxing Federation, I know that Trabzon will also meet the demands of hosting the world’s biggest women’s boxing tournament in 2019,” he added.

The men’s World Championship was never conducted by India, but to the 2006 women’s mega-event, it has played as a host.

The AIBA Executive Committee unanimously awarded the 2019 Women’s World Championships to Trabzon, Turkey, after analyzing the presentations. The Russian capital city of Moscow secured the AIBA 2018 Congress award.

“The strength of all of the bids we have seen today is the clearest indication yet of AIBA’s successful efforts to amplify the prestige of its World Championships even further, with the strongest global broadcasting and sponsorship partnerships secured to date already finalized for next month’s Men’s World Championships in Hamburg,” Dr Wu stated.
