The Boxing movement of Manipur was started in the early part of 1948 by holding 1st State Level Boxing Championship. To keep up for development of Boxing Activities, Manipur Body Building Institute was established in the year 1951.
It shall be relevant to say that, for the last few years, the Boxing movement in Manipur has been speeding up with the women Boxers contribute major share to show to the world that Manipur women Boxer are winners at boxing bouts of the National and International Arenas/Platforms.

Dingko Singh who is recipient of Arjun Award and Padma Shri in Boxing Discipline.(Asian Games Gold Medalist ) Shri. Ng.
