President Droupadi Murmu congratulated India’s medal-winning women boxers for their outstanding performances at the 2025 World Boxing Championships in Liverpool. The President praised the athletes for showing extraordinary determination on an international stage and for helping India’s status in international boxing. India finished the event with four medals, including two historic gold medals that represented a major milestone for the country.
In a message shared on her official X Twitter, the President stated that Jaismine and Minakshi Hooda won gold, Nupur Sheoran took silver, and Pooja Rani got bronze.
