About Us
The Professional Boxing Organization India (PBOI) stands as a testament to the relentless pursuit of excellence in the world of boxing. Founded in 2012 and officially recognized in 2014, PBOI set out with a singular mission – to elevate the status of boxing, the world’s second most popular sport, within India.
What sets PBOI apart is its affiliation with the prestigious WORLD BOXING COUNCIL (WBC), the foremost authority in professional boxing, known for sanctioning some of the most iconic bouts in history. Kunal Goyat is the founder member of PBOI. Over the past four years, PBOI has etched its name in the annals of boxing history by organizing numerous historic events.
Among these, there was the exhilarating Boxing League, four electrifying International Fights, and an astounding eight National Fights. Notably, PBOI hosted an AIBA Pro Boxing (APB) bout, a pivotal Olympic qualifying match that showcased the organization’s commitment to raising the profile of Indian boxers on the global stage.
One of the shining stars of PBOI, VIKAS YADAV, left an indelible mark on the sport by securing his Olympic qualification in Venezuela, a testament to PBOI’s dedication to nurturing homegrown talent. In 2022, three more professional boxers under PBOI’s banner earned their rightful chance for Olympic qualification, a moment of immense pride for the entire organization.
PBOI’s impact transcends the ring, as it believes not just in setting a vision but also in leading by example. It embodies a holistic approach, not only promoting boxing but also instilling values of discipline, dedication, and sportsmanship among its athletes.
