In order to promote boxing and boxers in Mizoram, the state is all set to organize the first-ever professional boxing event ‘WBC World Youth Title’ on March 6 to promote professional boxing in the state.

 Sports minister Robert Romawia Royte on Friday said that the event will be organised at R. Dengthuama indoor stadium in Aizawl. The event will be jointly organised by local cable TV LPS vision and a Kolkata based grassroots boxing promotion and management. The sports minister said that Mizoram is the first state in the country to grant industry status to sports. He also assured that the government will continue its efforts to promote promising and talented sportspersons in all disciplines. He also said that it is their dream to make Mizoram the ‘boxing hub’ of the country and that from now on, the World Youth Title event will most probably be held yearly, inviting professional boxers from India and abroad.

The boxing matches will be telecast through a new pay-per-view channel on LPS Cable TV and tickets will be sold for those who attend the event at the venue itself.
