India is set to make a powerful statement at the inaugural World Boxing Championships 2025, taking place from September 4 to 14 in Liverpool. Led by Olympic medallist Lovlina Borgohain and World Champion Nikhat Zareen, the 20-member Indian squad will battle it out against top-tier global talent across as many categories. After a stellar run at the World Boxing Cups earlier this year, India enters the biennial tournament with high confidence and solid international form.

The team’s recent successes include a six-medal haul in Brazil, highlighted by Hitesh’s gold and Abhinash Jamwal’s silver. The momentum continued in Kazakhstan, where India secured 11 medals, including three golds—one of them claimed by heavyweight champion Nupur Sheoran. These performances underscore the growing depth and versatility in India’s boxing ranks, boosting expectations for the nation to deliver its best-ever showing on the world stage.

“Our preparation in Sheffield has been outstanding,” said men’s team coach Dharmendra Singh Yadav. “We have a perfect blend of experience and emerging talent.” Women’s coach Dr. Chandralal echoed the sentiment, praising the team’s work ethic and determination. With belief and preparation firmly in place, India’s boxers are ready to make history in Liverpool.
