Akhil Kumar shocked world champion Sergey Vodopyanov in a thrilling match to storm in the quarter finals of the Olympics 54kg bantamweight boxing competition. The Haryana boxer was trailing 2-6 at one stage and then drew equal in the end stage and finally won on points to surprise every one watching the match..

“It’s not possible to assure you of the gold but I can tell you that I’m here to win only gold,” said the boxer after the match. “I know things would not be easier, in fact it would get even more difficult from now onwards. But I’m here to do my job and return with the gold. If luck decides the outcome, I may return with the bronze. But if confidence is the determining factor, gold is mine.”

  1. Wow this is sad. India couldn’t even get a picture of Akhil Kumar so they put a picture of boxing gloves. Just more proof that India doesn’t care about sports and could care less about the Olympics and all the effort that goes into it.
