It was announced on Wednesday by officials that women’s boxing will make its debut in the Asian Games this year. The decision was influenced by the addition of women’s boxing into the 2012 Olympics. The Asian Games, like the Olympics, will have three classes: flyweight, lightweight and middleweight. The Asian games, with over 14,000 participants from 45 countries competing in 42 sports, is the second largest sporting event with the summer Olympics coming in first.
