Gangtok, Sikkim | 19 May 2025 –
The Sikkim Amateur Boxing Association (SABA) is proud to announce that Ms. Yasika Rai, daughter of Mr. Mahesh Kumar Rai and Mrs. Bhayatri Rai of Sikkim, has been selected to represent India at the prestigious Thailand Open International Boxing Tournament, scheduled to be held from 22nd May to 2nd June 2025 in Bangkok, Thailand.
Hailing from Namchi, Yasika began her boxing journey under the mentorship of her foundation coaches Mr. Mukesh Rai and Mr. Subas Tamang, who played a key role in nurturing her early talent. With consistent performances at both state and national levels, Yasika has proven herself to be a determined and gifted athlete, ready to take on the international stage.
"This is a proud milestone for Sikkim. Yasika’s journey from Namchi,Sikkim to the international ring is a shining example of what focus, hard work, and passion can achieve. We encourage her to step into the ring with confidence and courage—knowing the entire state and country are standing behind her."
As Yasika prepares to wear the Indian colors in Bangkok, SABA joins the people of Sikkim and the nation in wishing her strength, success, and victory. Her journey is already a source of inspiration, and we believe this is just the beginning of a bright and promising career.
