Vijender Singh: Indian Boxers Need Greater International Exposure to Win Medals at LA 2028
Olympic bronze medalist boxer Vijender Singh has emphasized the need for greater international exposure for Indian boxers to enhance their chances of securing medals at the 2028 Los Angeles Games. He also stressed the importance of conducting new and transparent elections for the Boxing Federation of India (BFI).
Since the Paris Olympics, boxing activity has been relatively low. Last October and November, youth boxers, both male and female, participated in the U19 World Boxing Championships held in the USA.

The men’s national championships were held in early January in Bareilly (UP), while the women’s event, originally set for February 21-28 in Lucknow, has now been postponed.

Some boxers, including Tokyo Olympic bronze medalist Lovlina Borgohain, took part in the National Games in Uttarakhand.
“As our country continues to advance in sports, it is crucial that Indian boxers gain more international exposure in competitions to secure medals at the 2028 LA Olympics,” Vijender posted on X on Wednesday.
“For this, we need to organize fresh and fair elections as soon as possible to establish a strong federation. I would be more than happy to lend my experience if entrusted with any responsibilities by our government. @PMOIndia @mansukhmandviya,” he added.
On Monday, the Indian Olympic Association (IOA) established a five-member ad hoc committee, including veteran boxer Shiva Thapa, to oversee the daily operations of the BFI, citing administrative turmoil within the federation and its failure to conduct timely elections.
The current term of BFI officials expired on February 2, but elections could not take place due to a pending case regarding the previous elections, which resulted in a ruling against the BFI.
The committee will be led by Madukant Pathak, with Rajesh Bhandari serving as vice chairman. The other members include Virendra Singh Thakur, Shiva Thapa, and DP Bhatt.
The ad hoc committee will “address the concerns of the boxing community, assist athletes in participating in upcoming international competitions, and work towards conducting the IBF elections as soon as possible.”

Cristiano Ronaldo Earns Rs.30 Crore in Just 90 Minutes
Sports: Football legend Cristiano Ronaldo has once again grabbed global attention with his massive earnings. Reports suggest that Ronaldo earns around Rs.30 crore from just one 90-minute football match.
The 41-year-old Portuguese star is currently playing for a club in Saudi Arabia. Under his contract, he reportedly earns around Rs.1,700 crore per year. Based on an average of 55 matches a year for both club and country, Ronaldo earns nearly Rs.30 crore for every game he plays.
This means that in just 90 minutes on the football field, Ronaldo earns an amount that is equal to the annual salary expenses of many companies.
Ronaldo’s total net worth is estimated to be more than ₹10,000 crore. He has built this enormous wealth through a football career that has lasted more than two decades. His income also comes from endorsement deals, brand promotions, business investments, and social media activities.
The scale of Ronaldo’s earnings becomes even more striking when compared to an average Indian employee. A person earning Rs.12 lakh per year would need around 2,500 years of work to earn the Rs.30 crore that Ronaldo makes from a single match.
