Asian Games medallists get direct route to 2027 Worlds under BFI’s LA 2028 plan
Asian Games medallists will be India’s main entries, while national champions serve as reserves under the Boxing Federation of India’s new Olympic qualification policy.
- On Wednesday, the Boxing Federation of India announced a new selection policy granting 2026 Asian Games medallists direct entry to the 2027 World Boxing Championships, the first qualifying event for the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics.
- BFI President Ajay Singh said the policy provides a "clear and structured route to Los Angeles 2028," built around consistent performance at the National Coaching Camp and World Boxing's qualification events.
- For weight categories lacking Asian Games medals—specifically men's 65kg and women's 57kg and 70kg—gold medallists from the 10th Elite National Championships will be selected as main entries.
- Boxers reaching the "quota bout round" at the World Championships who fail to secure a place earn direct entry to the Asian Qualifier in China, followed by two 2028 World Qualifying Tournaments.
- Remaining slots will be filled through a Ranking Selection Trial among Elite National Campers, while the National Coaching Camp will include medallists from the 10th Elite National Championships and BFI Selection Committee wild cards.
