New Delhi, April 30 : National champion and Olympic-bound boxer Simranjit Kaur has been dropped from the Indian squad for the Asian Boxing Championships to be held in Dubai from May 21 as she is still recovering from Covid-19.
The 25-year-old national champion in the 60 kg had tested positive for Covid-19 last week. Since she is still in quarantine here at the Indira Gandhi Indoor Sports Complex, it wouldn t be possible for her to compete in the continental competition. We will check if the second boxer in her category (60kg) is fit for competition, an official of the Boxing Federation of India (BFI) told IANS.
