Asian Games: Indian Boxers Will Participate Under Tricolour

"It's great morale boosting news for Indian Boxing. Each & every member of Boxing India will work enthusiastically and diligently to revive Indian boxing and help it achieve Olympic Glory. We are confident that Boxing India will make that happen." said Jay Kowli, Secretary General, Boxing India.

The erstwhile Indian Boxing Federation (IBF) was derecognised by the international body AIBA in March after being suspended for more than 12 months following a controversial election in December 2012 that saw president Abhay Singh Chautala elevated as the chairman of the body.

In the same week, Chautala's election as Indian Olympic Association (IOA) president also led to India's ban by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) that was finally lifted after 14 months in February after a new set of officials were elected.
