Lieutenant Colonel Manoj Kumar has become the first Indian official to qualify as a Continental Technical Delegate of World Boxing, the sport's international governing body.

"Indian boxing making waves, inside and outside the ring. Congratulations to both Col. Manoj Kumar and Rajendran Ravindran on their recent appointments and achievements with World Boxing," BFI wrote on its social media accounts.
