The competition was conducted across four weight categories for men and one for women post weigh-ins at the start of the trials.
Rahul Tiwari came out as the winner in the Featherweight category, while Shubham Bonakudkewar from Pune won in the Welterweight category. The Middle and Super Middleweight categories were occupied by local boxers Sohail Rangila and Siddhant Bagwe respectively.
The women's Light Weight category was clinched by Shruti Shinde from Pune.
The trials saw each bout with two rounds of three minutes in which boxers were judged on the basis of their aggressiveness, ring control, fitness, technique, footwork and boxer's chin (ability to take a hit).
