NEW DELHI : Pugilist Amit Panghal will be entering the Tokyo Olympics as the world number one in the men’s 52kg flyweight category.
In the rankings released by International Olympic Committee’s (IOC) Boxing Task Force, Panghal has been ranked as number one and he is the only Indian Olympic-bound boxer to be ranked as number one.
