Boxing News: BFI planning to send Indian boxers for training in Europe

The Olympic bound Indian boxers could go on a 45-day long European tour with possible stops in France, Italy and Poland. The boxers will train and compete as per the recommendation from Indian Boxing High Performance Director Santiago Nieva. The Boxing Federation of India discussed the possibility of sending the senior boxers for European tour at a Special General Meeting. Meanwhile, the BFI extended the tenures of its president Ajay Singh and its Executive Council by three months as the Covid-19 has "made it difficult" to conduct fresh elections. The tenures were originally scheduled to end on September 25. Recently Tokyo Olympics quota winner and boxer Vikas Krishan's request to train in the United States as part of his preparations for Olympics has been approved by the Sports Authority of India.
