Nepal on the World Boxing Map. Nepali boxing is entering a historic era, and this powerful podcast brings together three of the biggest names driving that change — Lal Prasad Upreti, Chandra Bahadur Thapa, and Sujit Kumar Pun Magar (Jet Boxing). Lal Prasad Upreti gained international recognition at the IBA Men’s Elite World Boxing Championships, while Chandra Bahadur Thapa made history as the first Nepali to win a medal at the World Boxing Championships. Guiding this rise is Jet Boxing, an IBA and USA Boxing-certified coach and founder of H2O Athletics, who has shaped Nepal’s elite fighters. In this episode, they discuss what it truly takes to compete at the world level in boxing, sharing insights on international tournament experience, Asian amateur boxing standards, and the intense fight camps in Rangasala. The conversation dives into strict training routines, no-holiday policies, mental pressure before fights, and how fighters are selected for global tournaments. They also open up about their personal boxing journeys, family reactions, sacrifices, and what boxing means to them beyond medals. With Mission 2026 in focus, this episode captures the grit, discipline, and vision behind the rapid growth of Nepali boxing on the world stage. A must-watch for boxing fans, athletes, and anyone inspired by Nepal’s sporting evolution.
