For boxer Mohammad Hussamuddin, who won a bronze in his maiden World championship early this month in Tashkent, it has been a frustrating phase ever since as he is engaged in a race against time to recover from the knee injury which he suffered during the championship.
“Yes, frankly, there were no celebrations at all either at home or with friends after the bronze, which I feel is the biggest achievement in my life,” the 29-year-old Hussamuddin informed The Hindu on Tuesday.
“Tomorrow I am going to Mumbai for treatment. Hopeful to be fit in time for the forthcoming Asian Games,” he said. “For me, the next big target is to do well in the Asiad as the gold or silver medallist there will make it to the next year’s Paris Olympics,” the three-time national champion said.
