World Boxing Cup Finals: World Boxing Cup Finals champions Hitesh Gulia and Sachin Siwach, along with Olympic medallist Lovlina Borgohain, will lead a strong 33-member Indian men’s and women’s squads at the BOXAM Elite International 2026, to be held in La Nucia, Alicante, Spain.

The tournament marks India’s first major overseas boxing assignment of the year and will serve a major role in preparation ahead of the Commonwealth Games and Asian Games later in 2026.

The squad, announced by the Boxing Federation of India (BFI) on Sunday, has been selected based on performances at the recently concluded 9th Elite Men and Women National Boxing Championships. Gold and silver medallists from that event have been picked in Olympic weight categories, while silver medallists have been selected in non-Olympic divisions, in line with the BFI's selection policy.
