Former Commonwealth Games: Former Commonwealth Games gold medallist boxer Manoj Kumar has questioned the transparency of the new athlete assessment system introduced by the Boxing Federation of India (BFI) for the selection of boxers for upcoming international competitions, including the 2026 Commonwealth Games and Asian Games 2026.

Reacting to the federation’s latest notification regarding boxer assessments, Manoj raised questions over the absence of former players, Arjuna Awardees, Dronacharya Awardees, and Olympians from the monitoring process.

“The entire selection process has been kept strictly limited to the head coach, judges, and the federation. Why were former Arjuna Awardees, Dronacharya awardees, Olympians, and senior players not included as observers or selection monitors?” Manoj Kumar wrote on X.
