Boxing competitions
The 2018 AIBA Women's World Boxing Championships was held at KD Jadav Indoor Stadium at New Delhi, India and took place between 15 and 24 November 2018.
In the finals of the light flyweight category Mary Kom of India beat Ukrainian boxer Hana Okhota to win the gold, creating history by becoming the first woman boxer to win six gold medals in the IBA World Boxing Championships.
Controversy.
Despite the Kosovo Boxing Federation being a full member of the AIBA, Indian authorities refused to grant visas to competitors from Kosovo, thus preventing them from participating in the event. Athletes from Kosovo were previously denied entry to India in 2017 for the Youth Women's World Championships.
