Some Lesser Known Facts

Parveen Hooda is an accomplished Indian boxer who earned a spot in the 2024 Paris Olympics by clinching a Bronze medal in the women's 57 Kg semifinal boxing match at the 19th Asian Games in 2023.
Her interest in boxing sparked during her school days, and in 2011, she joined a boxing academy in her village, Rurki, near Rohtak, which was set up by Sarpanch Sudhir Hooda and did not charge any fees for its trainees.
Inspired by the Olympic bronze wins of Vijender Singh and Mary Kom, she became resolute about pursuing a career in boxing.
In 2016, she emerged victorious against Vilma Viitanen at the Nations Cup Junior competition in Ruma.
Despite reaching the finals of the Ahmet Comert Youth Tournament in 2017, she unfortunately faced defeat in the match.
She triumphed in her bout against Mannu Nimawat at the 6th Elite Women's National Boxing Championships in 2022.
Early in her boxing journey, her father disapproved of her choice to pursue boxing, but her mother always supported her. Coach Sudhir Hooda, like a father figure, provided her with gloves, shoes, and ensured she had a nutritious diet due to their financial difficulties.
In 2023, she competed in the 19th Asian Games and experienced a loss in the women's 57kg semifinal match against Lin Yu-ting, a Taiwanese boxer and two-time world champion.
Apart from boxing, she serves as a police officer in the Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP) and was promoted to Head Constable in December 2022.
