Asian boxing elite championships

Target Olympic Podium Scheme: Four Indian boxers, Preeti Pawar, Priya, Arundhati Chaudhary, and Sachin, have been elevated to the Target Olympic Podium Scheme (TOPS) Core group after their standout performances at the 2026 Asian Boxing Elite Championships. Meanwhile, three others have been added to the Development group. This decision was made during the 172nd Mission Olympic Cell (MOC) meeting on Wednesday.

Preeti (54kg), Priya (60kg), and Arundhati (70kg) earned gold medals at the continental meet in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia, earlier this month, while Sachin (60kg) took silver. The Mission Olympic Cell, responsible for evaluating athletes' performances under the TOPS framework, made its decision after a thorough review of recent results, world rankings, and performance progress.

Preeti is scheduled to compete in the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow and the Asian Games in Japan later this year. She will be joined by Jaismine (57kg), Priya (W60kg), Arundhati (W70kg), and Sachin (M60kg). Preeti, Priya, and Sachin will participate in both events. These athletes qualified directly for the CWG 2026 and Asian Games 2026 in accordance with the selection policy of the Boxing Federation of India (BFI).
