2023 IBA Women's World Boxing Championships

The 2023 IBA Women's World Boxing Championships were the 13th edition of the championships, held in New Delhi, India from 15 to 26 March 2023. India topped the medal tally for the first time after 2006.
Medal winners were awarded prize money; gold medallists earn $100,000, silver medallists $50,000, and bronze medallists $25,000. The overall prize fund was $2.4 million.
This event was boycotted by multiple nations due to participation of athletes from Russia and Belarus in light of Russian invasion of Ukraine.
In June 2022, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) barred the International Boxing Association's (IBA) rights to run and organize the tournament due to "continuing irregularity issues in the areas of finance, governance, ethics, refereeing, and judging". Hence, the IOC executive board established and ratified a new qualification system for Paris 2024 that would witness the boxers obtain the quota spots through the continental multisport events, reducing the complexity of the process. The qualification period commences at five regional multisport events in the middle of the 2023 season (2023 African Games in Accra, Ghana; 2022 Asian Games in Hangzhou, China; 2023 European Games in Poland; 2023 Pacific Games in Honiara, Solomon Islands; and the 2023 Pan American Games in Santiago, Chile), set to be served as continental qualifying meets, where a total of 139 spots will be assigned to a specific number of highest-ranked boxers in each weight category. For these reasons, this tournament does not give a quota for the Olympic Games.
All times are local (UTC+5:30).

The following nations participate with total participation entries of 324:
Ignoring Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 and subsequent recommendations of the International Olympic Committee to bar Russian and Belarusian athletes from competing under their national flags and for the anthems to be played, the International Boxing Association under the leadership of Russian Umar Kremlev allowed them to compete with no restrictions. In the aftermath, 17 countries (19 national federations) decided to boycott the championship over IBA's decision.
The nations that boycotted the tournament were:
Kosovo withdrew its competitors from the championship as a result of alleged discrimination by the Indian authorities. Despite the Kosovo Boxing Federation being a full member of the IBA, local organisers decided to ban the use of the flag and national anthem of Kosovo at the championship, including in medal ceremonies and on team uniforms for political reasons. Kosovo's sole entrant, 2022 bronze medalist Donjeta Sadiku, also encountered problems in obtaining a visa to enter India for the competition. Sadiku was previously denied entry to India in 2017 for the Youth Women's World Championships and 2018 for the Women's World Championships. Kosovo's president Vjosa Osmani described the treatment of athletes from her country as a "blatant violation of int'l sporting standards" and urged the organisers to reconsider their decision. The IBA's media communications team termed the incident as "unfortunate and the Indian government was also very cooperative, and the team was granted visas for the competitions. It was unfortunate to learn that the athletes of Kosovo declined the opportunity to come to New Delhi."
A question has been raised about Indian-born Nepali Boxer Anjani Teli. IBA had an investigation into allegations made against her. However, she was given a clean chit as she had never acquired an Indian passport. She was born in Delhi to migrated Nepali parents. And she received a Nepali passport at the age of 8 years as her parents were from Nepal. IBA has allowed her to continue participating in the tournament.
