The Boxing Federation of India (BFI) announced on Tuesday that the 4th Sub-Junior (U-15) Boys and Girls National Boxing Championships will take place from August 7 to 13 at Galgotias University in Greater Noida, Uttar Pradesh. The event will feature over 700 young boxers, including 400 boys and 300 girls aged between 13 and 14, competing across 15 weight categories. Aligned with BFI's broader vision to create a strong pathway from grassroots to elite levels, the Sub-Junior Nationals play a vital role in identifying promising young talent and preparing them for higher competition levels. This event follows the successful completion of the men's, women's, and junior nationals earlier this year, which have already produced international medallists and future stars. Haryana (Girls) and Chandigarh (Boys) will enter this edition as the defending champions from the 3rd Sub-Junior Nationals. Boxers will compete under World Boxing Technical Rules, engaging in three rounds of 1.5 minutes each, with a minute's rest between rounds. A 10-point scoring system will be used. Medal winners from the REC Combined Talent Hunt 2024 are also eligible to participate, adding to the competitiveness of the event. An official from BFI remarked, 'The Sub-Junior Nationals are where India's boxing journey truly begins. This platform helps identify talented individuals and allows them to experience real competition early in their careers. The skills, discipline, and confidence developed here are the first building blocks of international success. This is a significant grassroots step in these young boxers' journeys, and we're sure we'll see many stars of the future in action." Indian boxing's youth programme has been gaining global attention, not only at the senior level but also in age-group competitions. At the recent Asian U-15 and U-17 Championships, Indian boxers secured 43 medals and finished second overall, showcasing the depth of talent and promise within the junior ranks.
