New Delhi
\nThe Boxing Federation of India is planning to offer central contracts to its pugilists in the next six months, president Ajay Singh said on Wednesday. If the plan sees the light of the day, BFI will become the third federation after the Indian cricket board and the Wrestling Federation to do so.<\/p>\n
\u201cCentral contracts are something we have been working on for a while now. We should be able to come up with contracts for our boxers in six months,\u201d Singh said on the sidelines of the logo and anthem launch of the women\u2019s World Championships scheduled here from November 15 to 24.<\/p>\n
Singh said once introduced, the contracts will make Indian boxers financially strong. \u201cWe will come up with a gradation system. It means we will grade our boxers depending on their performance and achievements,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe A grade boxers will get the highest amount, followed by the boxers in grade B and C. It is still a work in progress, so the amount is yet to be decided,\u201d he added.
\nThe BFI chief also hoped for a strong Indian performance at the World Championships. \u201cIt is a matter of pride that in a span of two years since its inception, BFI has been able to bring the World Championships to India.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
