The six-member Indian boxing contingent (four women and two men) will take to the mat in the hope of creating history at the Paris Olympics 2024. The global event is set to take place from July 26 to August 11 at France's capital, Paris.

The boxing events of the Games will see a total of 248 athletes competing in 13 weight classes. The male pugilists will compete in seven weight classes, while the female boxers are set to contest in six weight divisions.
