Introduction. The development of boxing in the People's Republic of China in recent decades has been characterized by the improved performance of Chinese athletes at major international competitions, which indicates the formation of an effective management system for this sport and the training of the sports reserve. The organization of competitive activities and the multi-level system of athlete selection play a significant role in its functioning [1, 2]. In this regard, it is relevant to analyze the features of the boxing management system and the formation of the sports reserve in the PRC.

The aim of the study is to determine the features of the boxing management system and the formation of the sports reserve in the People's Republic of China.

Methodology and organization of the study. The method of analysis was used to study scientific publications and factual materials characterizing the boxing management system and the organization of athlete training in the People's Republic of China.

Results and discussion. Based on the conducted analysis, it was revealed that the boxing management system in the People's Republic of China is formed within the framework of the state model of sports organization. The following features are distinguished in the structure of boxing management and the formation of the sports reserve in the PRC: Centralized boxing management system. The development of boxing in the country is carried out under conditions of centralized state regulation, where strategic leadership of the sport is exercised by state sports management bodies. The Chinese Boxing Association plays a significant role in industry management, performing the functions of a specialized organization: it develops rules and methodological recommendations, organizes national and international competitions, and coordinates the activities of regional structures and athlete training; multi-level system of competitive activities. The PRC has a developed competition structure that includes comprehensive national tournaments, all-China boxing championships, regional competitions, and international tournaments, which provide regular competitive practice for athletes and serve as an important mechanism for selecting the most promising boxers; multi-stage system of sports reserve formation. Athlete training is carried out sequentially at several levels—from sports schools and clubs to regional teams and the national team [1, 2]. This system ensures the gradual advancement of the most promising athletes and the formation of a stable sports reserve for the national team.

Conclusions. The conducted study indicates that the boxing management system in the People's Republic of China is characterized by a centralized approach to sports management, the coordinating role of the Chinese Boxing Association, a developed competitive infrastructure, and a multi-stage system of sports reserve formation. The combination of these features ensures the stable functioning of the national boxer training system and the sequential advancement of athletes from the initial stages of training to participation in major international competitions, which contributes to strengthening the positions of Chinese boxers in the global sports arena.
