Can Indian boxers create history at the Tokyo Olympics?

9 Boxers, 9 Medals from the Tokyo Olympics?

Can 9 Indian boxers convert their chances into 9 historic medals at Tokyo Olympics

The Tokyo Olympics will mark the first time in the history of Indian boxing that nine boxers have made the cut for the Olympics, beating the previous record of eight (London 2012). Also for the first time, India will be sending more than one female pugilist to the Olympics, with four having qualified.

But can all nine boxers bring back nine medals? While naysayers may find it ridiculous, the probability is quite high. Most of the contenders are boxers who have made their mark against all odds, and some of them are legitimate gold medal contenders. Among them, our most likely picks for a historic gold medal are Amit Panghal, Manish Kaushik, Vikas Krishan Yadav and MC Mary Kom.
