I always believed India has huge potential equally in men's and women's professional boxing. My focus is to build a platform for the boxers to establish themselves."My vision is to promote India's first-ever World Boxing Champion (male and female). I would like to thank the WBC for believing in my vision to propel professional boxing and especially give Indian female boxers the equal respect and opportunities as their male counterparts," said Parm Goraya, CEO of LZ Promotions and India Unleashed Promoter.While the professional boxing scene in India is still in its early stages, the sport has a strong niche audience and followership in India.The female boxers taking on each other for the Lightweight 140lb belt, as part of India Unleashed-Fight Night scheduled to take place on May 1, is not only historic but will also be a giant step for female professional boxers and boxing in India.( With inputs from ANI )Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
