HO CHI MINH CITY, Oct. 10 -- The 2017 Asian Women's Boxing Championship will take place here from Nov. 2-10 with the expected participation of 120 boxers from 20 countries and regions, the Vietnam Boxing Federation said Tuesday.

The championship and similar tournaments will help Vietnamese boxers better their skills and spirit and look forward to bigger events such as ASIAD and Olympic.
