From the 7th to the 17th, the Korea Boxing Association held a joint training session inviting athletes from developing countries '2025' at the Jincheon National Training Center in Chungbuk. The project is part of the International Sports ODA (Public Development Assistance) project organized by the Korea Sports Association and supported by the National Sports Promotion Agency, and is designed to support the development of sports in developing countries and promote international sports exchanges.

A total of 28 participants, including 14 members of the Philippine and Thai boxing national teams, participated in the training, and participated in joint training with 31 members of the Korean national team. Training consisted of weight training, technical training, and actual sparring. On the 14th and 15th, a friendly match was held between the two countries' athletes, and the stage for mutual performance improvement and friendly cooperation was held.

The joint exercise is not just about transferring technology. The Korea Sports Association's international sports cooperation program aims to enhance Korea's international status and strengthen global sports diplomacy by promoting friendship, infrastructure support, and talent training between countries through sports. In particular, cooperation with the Philippines and Thailand, the Asian boxing powerhouses, is expected to expand the international network with World Boxing and Asian Boxing, and increase the international competitiveness of Korean boxing.




During the training period, all participants were insured, and the project manager of the Korea Boxing Association resided in Jincheon Training Center to inspect and manage the program in person and hold it in safety.

Chairman Choi Chan-woong of the Korea Boxing Association said, "This project will not only enhance the performance of Filipino and Thai athletes, but also provide an important opportunity for Korean boxing to become a center of Asian boxing. We will continue to realize the value of international cooperation and co-prosperity through sports." he said.
