Injuries curtail India's participation in Strandja Memorial, 6 male boxers out

NEW DELHI: Six Indian male boxers were forced out of the Strandja Memorial Tournament starting February 19 in Sofia, Bulgaria due to injuries as the sports ministry approved funding for the truncated team's participation in the marquee European circuit tournament.

Govind (48kg), Ankit (51kg), Rajpinder Singh (54kg), Dalvir Singh (63.5kg), Rohit Tokas (71kg) and Gaurav Chauhan (92kg) were withdrawn from the tournament due to niggles sustained during training. The Indian men's team's participation is now reduced to seven boxers and the squad is largely made up of national medal winners.
