European Boxing Gold Tournament: The Boxing Federation of India (BFI) has named a 12-member squad for the prestigious Grand Prix Usti nad Labem in Czechia, scheduled from June 17 to 21, with Olympic medallist Lovlina Borgohain and reigning Asian Championships gold medallist Preeti Pawar among the leading names as India’s build-up towards the Commonwealth Games, Glasgow 2026 gathers momentum.
The Indian contingent features several of the country’s leading boxers, including top-ranked athletes across a majority of the Commonwealth Games weight categories. With major international events on the horizon, the tournament offers an important opportunity to fine-tune preparations, assess combinations, and gain valuable exposure against strong international opposition in a competitive European setting.
One of Europe’s longest-running boxing events, the Grand Prix Usti nad Labem has been a fixture on the global calendar for more than five decades and will be conducted as a European Boxing Gold Tournament under World Boxing regulations. Featuring competition across 10 men’s and 10 women’s weight categories, the event will serve as a key benchmark for Indian boxers as preparations continue for a packed international calendar ahead.
