In Tashkent, Uzbekistan, from May 1 to May 14, 2023, the IBA Men’s World Boxing Championship is slated to take place. In 13 weight categories that the IBA (International Amateur Boxing Association) approved in July 2021, boxers will contend for medals. The men’s championships were first held in 1974, and they have been held every other year since 1989. The Championships will feature nearly 700 boxers from over 100 different nations.

Amit Panghal, the Tokyo Olympian and 2019 world medalist, was not given a spot in the World Championships. With Amit Panghal remaining on the reserve list, Deepak Bhoria has been chosen for the men’s 51 kg division. Bhoria, who won silver at the 2019 Asian Championships, has been living in Amit’s shadow for the past few years. Deepak impressed the selectors and gave an impressive performance during the recently finished national camp, earning him a spot in the team for the World Championships.
