Devious ways of the Boxing Federation of India: Constant rule changes disadvantage talented boxers

Qualification for the boxing trials of the 2020 Tokyo Olympics created a big controversy when Mary Kom was given a direct entry without having to go through selections. To do this, the Boxing Federation of India summarily changed its rules; then retracted. Then suddenly changed a few more, this time quietly, to tilt the chances of qualification towards its favoured nominee. See all the twists and turns in this boxing saga and watch how talented boxers like Telengana’s Nikhat Zareen seem to be victimised. Make sure you hear the limerick at the end.

Bisbo's Limerick:

Don't forget to watch Bisbo's Limerick at the end of each video, that neatly sums up the topic.

Nikhat Zareen has a right to this fight
But the boxing federation uses their might
To twist the rules
And make us fools
As if doing her a favour for what is really her right
