New Delhi, Sep 28: Newly-elected President of the Boxing Federation of India (BFI) Ajay Singh on Wednesday announced that the womens and men's national championships will be held in Uttarakhand and Guwahati in November and December, respectively.

"These nationals are the first step in our journey towards ensuring that India becomes a boxing super power in the next few years."
