Indian pugilists hoping to do well

Their performance at the last Asian Championships was historic in every sense of the word but emulating that would be a herculean task for the Indian boxers when they step into the ring in the upcoming edition of the continental event in Amman, Jordan. Last time around, India ended with a gold, two silver and four bronze medals to mark the best ever show in 27 years but to repeat or do better than that would be easier said than done.

“Let’s hope for a good result. All the boys who are going are relatively new and I just want them to perform well, the medals will be taken care of. They just have to focus on their performance,” national coach Gurbax Singh Sandhu said.
