The national women’s boxing team, the Black Hitters, is intensifying preparations for the 2025 IBA Women’s World Boxing Championships, which will take place in Niš, Serbia, from March 8-17, 2025.
The International Boxing Association (IBA) has confirmed that the registration deadline for the tournament is February 20, 2025, with a cash prize awaiting the champions.
