GUWAHATI: The Assam Amateur Boxing Association (AABA) is set to host the 44th All-Assam Senior Inter-District Boxing Championship at the SAI Centre in Guwahati on Friday.

This state-level competition for men’s and women’s elite categories will feature boxers competing across 10 weight divisions, adhering to the latest World Boxing rules. Around 300 participants, including boxers and referees, from approximately 30 districts across Assam are expected to take part. 

 The event, concluding on December 2, will have its formal inaugural ceremony on Saturday. The secretary general of the Assam Amateur Boxing Association Hemanta Kalita informed the media that the competition will serve as the selection trial for Assam’s men’s and women’s teams for the upcoming Elite National Championship in January. Notably, the Senior National Boxing Championship in January 2025, to be held in Uttarakhand, has been recognized by the BFI as a qualifying event for the National Games, also scheduled in Uttarakhand later that year.
