It will be Nieva’s last assignment
The Indian men’s boxing team, comprising the likes of Asian medal-winners Deepak Kumar (51kg), Shiva Thapa (63.5kg) and Sanjeet (92kg), left for Belgrade on Wednesday to compete in the World championships starting on October 24, hopeful of coming over the disappointment of an underwhelming Olympics campaign.
The three form the experienced core of the 13-member squad, which is made up of this year’s National champions. Of these, Thapa is the only one with prior experience of competing in the World event, having claimed a bronze in 2015.
