Professional boxing heads to coastal Karnataka on November 1 as promoter Vishwanath Shettigar stages the maiden event under the Kulture Boxing banner at Kulture Klub in Manipal. Sanctioned by the Indian Boxing Council (IBC) with Vivek Raja serving as Event Supervisor, the 13-bout fight card brings professional prize fighting to a new regional audience. Given the emerging pro boxing scene in the coastal belt, the card is heavily anchored by fresh talent and professional debutants stepping into the paid ranks for the first time. Boxers from established boxing hubs across Punjab, Haryana, Dehradun, and Delhi are traveling down to test their mettle in four-round contests across a wide range of weight divisions. Undefeated Super Lightweight contender Inderjeet Singh (7-0-0) brings marquee experience to the lineup in Bout 547 as he takes on the durable Soyab Saifi (2-3-0). The card also showcases balanced regional talent clashes, featuring Bantamweights Harwinder Singh (2-2-0) against Naveen Shamsher Singh (1-2-0), and Gurpiar Singh (2-1-0) facing Kapil Mandaiya. Women’s boxing is well-represented with competitive pairings, including Super Flyweight prospect Kajal Budhwar (1-0-0) against debutant Amita Soliyal, Lightweight debutants Manveer Kaur and Shivani Nainwal, and an intriguing Cruiserweight clash between Nivedita Chiroulia and Manvi Chiroulia. Capping off the night’s big-punching action, local interest peaks in the heavier divisions with a Heavyweight duel between debutants Amanpreet Singh and Shreyas Shetty.
