‘’ A champion shows who he is by what he does when he’s tested……’’

An inspiration for young boys and girls of his age, it takes a lot of diligence and hard work to come so far and emerge as the youngest boxer of Khelo Indian Boxing Championship. Yashwardhan Singh won the title of the ‘Khelo India Boxing Champion Master’ and won a silver medal after winning the Pre-quarter Final, Quarter Final and the Semi Final rounds, in the light weight under 17 category. 

His first bout was with a CBSE champion followed by the second bout with MP Open National Bronze Medalist, and the Semi-final with the Haryana SGFI Bronze Medalist held at Guwahti. Our young boxer gave a tough fight to his opponents and emerged victorious. His next bout, which he unfortunately lost in the last round, was with his opponent from an Army Sports Institute at Maharashtra.

It is a matter of immense pride to witness our youngest boxer win the Tournament showcasing his explicit talent!

For the second year in the series Yashwardhan of grade IX won the 64^TH National School Games 2018, in Boxing. Focused and confident in the ring, Yashwardhan continued to punch his winning box, knocking out his opponent who was 4 inch taller than him.
