New Delhi, Mar 13 (PTI) Having lost all hope of securing an Indian visa to compete at the Women’s Boxing World Championship, starting here Wednesday, Kosova boxer Donjeta Sadiku has questioned International Boxing Association’s (IBA) decision to grant the event’s hosting rights to India.

Uncertainty looms large over Sadiku’s participation at IBA’s flagship event since the Indian government is yet to grant her visa.

India does not recognise Kosovo – a disputed territory in South Eastern Europe.

Sadiku said Kosovo’s Sports Ministry is trying to get in touch with the Indian government but it seems she will have to miss the prestigious tournament yet again.

“I don’t have any response from India yet. The Boxing Federation of India is allowing my participation in world boxing championship, and IBA said that there won’t be any problem but the India government, and foreign ministry have not yet responded to my visa application,” a despondent Sadiku told
