Boxing is trying to contribute to that larger objective. We are the third ranked boxing nation in the world. We are very proud of our women's boxing team. There will be a highest number of countries and boxers participating at the tournament. We just hope all of you [boxers] do exceedingly well and let's put on a spectacular show for the entire world to see," Singh said.Top names from the boxing world, including eight Olympics medallists, will fight for the title at the tournament which India will be hosting for the record third time.
