“Padhai likhai kar lo, boxing se kya milega (What will you gain from boxing)?” Deepak Kumar distinctly remembers this question that his parents and grandmother had posed when he decided that he belonged in the ring back in 2008.
Ten years down the line, he was ready with his answers – a national champion in 2018, a silver medallist in his first Asian Championship appearance in 2019 and last week, he stunned the reigning Olympic and world champion at one of the oldest and most prestigious events in Europe – the Strandja Memorial in Bulgaria – before securing a closely-fought silver.
