Tokyo Olympics bronze medalist Lovlina Borgohain has been given a direct entry to the 2021 AIBA Women's World Boxing Championships. The other members of the Indian contingent will be selected based on the results of the women’s national boxing championships in Hisar, Haryana.

Indian women boxing team's high-performance director Raffaele Bergamasco has decided to leave for Italy, with no clear picture being given to him by the BFI, on his future. Appointed in 2017, he produced a boxing Olympics medal for India after a gap of nine years when Lovlina won in Tokyo.

The BFI (Boxing Federation of India) has decided to offer a three-month contract extension to the foreign coaches, whose tenures were supposed end this month. As per reports, the future of the coaches would be assessed after the World Championships for men and women, later this year.

Tokyo Olympics bronze medalist Lovlina Borgohain is confident of bettering her performance at the Games, when the Paris edition arrives, in 2024. The athlete from Assam became only the third Indian pugilist from India to claim a medal at the Olympics, after Vijender Singh and Mary Kom.
