Indian boxers to have three-week training camp abroad before Olympics
NEW DELHI, Jun 1: India’s nine Olympic-bound boxers will travel abroad for a three-week training stint after getting a few days’ break following a record-shattering medal haul by the country’s pugilists at the just-concluded Asian Championships in Dubai.
Speaking to PTI, Indian men’s boxing’s High Performance Director Santiago Nieva said the boxers will reach Tokyo for the Games, five to seven days before the start of the event from July 23.
“We will go abroad for training. The discussions are on and the place will be finalised in the next few days. It will be a three-week camp. We will come back to India to fine tune a few things, and then head to Tokyo five-seven days before the Games,” Nieva said laying down the plan for the coming days.
