NEW DELHI: The Boxing Federation of India (BFI) was confirmed as the official governing body of boxing in the country by the Delhi High Court on Thursday.
Earlier, the BFI had filed a petition against its rivals, the Indian Amateur Boxing Federation (IABF) over its organising of the sub-junior inter-zonal boxing championships across the country.
In a major win for BFI, the court not only upheld its status as the sport’s authority, but also ordered that the IABF must not words like 'India' or 'Indian' in its official name.
