In 2006 Melbourne Commonwealth Games, Akhil bagged India’s only gold in boxing. At that time the country’s medal in the sport was five (one gold, two silver, two bronze). After two years, Vijender’s Olympic bronze changed the face of the sport and next month in New Delhi Indian boxing heroes will be punching for the glory. Here are the profile shots of some of the boxers, who are top contenders for the gold medal. Photos: T. Narayan
