Boxing News: Women boxers yet to receive nationals prize money

The medallists of the 2nd Elite Women’s National Boxing Championship held in Rohtak in January last year certainly would have felt a sense of pride holding their dummy prize money cheques, but it’s been one year and three months and the Boxing Federation of India— the governing body of the sport in the country — is yet to give them the real ones. The BFI had introduced cash incentives for the medal winners during the 2018 edition of the national championship. The gold medal winner was promised a cash award of Rs 20,000, while silver would get Rs 12,000 and both the bronze medallists would get Rs 7,000 each.
