India’s boxing star Vijender Singh is set to become a member of the Asian Boxing Council. He has added another feather to his crown, stepping into the role of a global sports administrator. This milestone highlights his resilience, passion, and love for the sport, as his nearly two decades of experience in boxing are now celebrated in the realm of sports administration.
Speaking about this development, Vijender stated, “I am honoured to be appointed as a member of the Asian Boxing Council. I would like to thank the Boxing Federation of India and its leadership for entrusting me with this responsibility.”
The boxer further emphasized, “I hope to fulfil this role to the best of my ability at the international level. Just as we created history in Beijing, I am committed to working for the growth of Asian boxing, with a strong focus on Indian boxers, and helping our athletes achieve even greater success in the future.”
Singh, India’s first Olympic medallist in boxing, now secures his position in a sports developmental body across the region. Vijender’s inclusion is anticipated to bring an athlete-centered perspective to policy-making, governance, and strategic planning.
