Boxer-turned-boxing-coach K. Vinod, known in his circles as Paul James, has found a silver lining in the pandemic. When Nageshwara Rao Park in Mylapore becomes out of bounds for him and his students to practice boxing, he switches to virtual classes.
In the last eight months, thanks to the benevolence of the management of SMT. Malathi Matriculation School in Mylapore, Paul has another venue where he trains children from underprivileged communities in boxing.
Twenty-five-year-old Paul James works as a physical education teacher at CSI St. Ebba’s Matriculation Higher Secondary School. After quitting competitive boxing, he wanted to help youngsters step into the sport he so loves, so he took to coaching at the age of 22.
