BFI tweaks assessment framework for selection

The Boxing Federation of India (BFI) has reworked its assessment framework, switching from round robin to knockout format in sparring bouts, to select boxers for important events.

While waiting for the Sports Authority of India’s approval to induct 40 finalists of the Chief of Army Staff (COAS) Cup in the National camp, the BFI said the assessment would be done in two phases in the run-up to the Commonwealth Games, Asian Games, World Cup Stage-2 and other international events.
