“This has been an amazing effort from our youth boxers especially when the players had to be confined at home for the most part of the last year and only make do with online training sessions. Our coaches and support staff did a stellar job despite the limitations and challenges. I congratulate all the winners on this unprecedented medal haul. This achievement is a testament to the talent we have in the upcoming generation of Indian boxing,” Boxing Federation of India President, Ajay Singh noted.
