The previous BFI office-bearers’ tenure ended on February 2. Elections were initially scheduled for March 28 but were stalled due to legal disputes, including multiple appeals and counter-appeals. The Returning Officer also resigned during the process.

World Boxing, which appointed the Interim Committee to manage Indian boxing’s day-to-day affairs, set an August 31 deadline for the elections to be conducted.

The entire process will now restart, beginning with the drafting of the Electoral College. Member states have been asked to submit the names of two representatives by 5 PM IST on Monday.
