Sanjeet the Lion shows his class
The Hindu
Sanjeet’s 91kg title win has boosted his confidence
Popular as ‘Sher’ among his peers for wearing a lion’s tattoo on his back, 24-year-old Sanjeet loves his newly-achieved status as an Asian champion following his lionhearted showing in Dubai. Sanjeet’s 91kg title win, India’s lone gold medal in the men’s section of the Asian championships, has boosted his confidence. “This is my best performance. I beat two Olympic qualified boxers (Sanjar Tursunov of Uzbekistan 5-0 in the semifinals and Olympics silver medallist Vassiliy Levit of Kazakhstan 4-1 in the final). The win over Levit was sweeter as I had lost to him in the President’s Cup in Kazakhstan in 2018,” Sanjeet told The Hindu on his return from Dubai on Tuesday.More Related News
