Shillong, Jan 7: The Meghalaya Boxing Association (MBA) has proudly announced the participation of four talented boxers and one official in the prestigious 8th Elite Men National Boxing Championships, currently underway in Bareilly, Uttar Pradesh, from January 7 to 13, 2025.
Marking a strong start to the competition, Khrawbok Marwein delivered a stellar performance in the preliminary bout of the 50kg weight category.
