World championships bronze medal winning boxer Mohammad Hussamuddin, who was out of action with a knee injury for about six months, made a comeback to the Indian squad for the Olympics World Qualification Tournament (WQT) to be held in Busto Arsizio, Italy, from February 29 to March 12.
Hussamuddin, who had injured his left knee during the World championships in Tashkent, had gone under the knife to fix his injury. His return would boost India’s chances of securing a quota place in 57kg.
The squad also included Worlds medallists Deepak Bhoria (51kg) and Nishant Dev (71kg), multiple Asian medallist Shiva Thapa (63.5kg), National champion Lakshya Chahar (80kg), former Asian champion Sanjeet (92kg) and Asian Games medallist Narender Berwal (+92kg) in the men’s section.
