Indian boxer Lovlina Borgohain vocalized her frustrations with the boxing system in India after her first-round exit from the World Boxing Championships, highlighting inadequate training and exposure compared to international athletes. Borgohain, the only Indian boxer to win a medal (bronze) at the Tokyo Olympics, was disappointed to lose her first-round match at the world championships and believes her relatively mediocre performance in comparison to her Olympic feats stems from a lack of experience.

"I never demand luxury, but I need a good trainer, good competition, and good exposure. I don't have any international-level exposure here , and I don't think I got the experience I needed ahead of the World Championships." says Lovlina.

This is not the first time that Borgohain has criticized Indian boxing. After returning from the Tokyo Olympics, she expressed her displeasure with the absence of a dedicated psychologist or mental health professional in the athletes' preparation for the games.

Boxing has been an increasingly prestigious sport for India to foray into, as they seek to elevate their status on the global stage. However, the stark contrast between their Olympic performances and subsequent results at world championships signals areas where the athletic program may be lacking and could use improvement.

Stay tuned to see how Borgohain's comments influence Indian boxing's approach ahead of the next Olympic games and if any systemic changes will be made to address these issues.
