For a boxer, a shoulder injury, in all probability, can end his career. Or make him half the player he was. It's not just career-threatening, it can be career-ending.
Nishant Dev endured one such injury in 2010. The boxer from Karnal, Haryana had dislocated his right shoulder after a fall from the stairs. A rod was put in his shoulder then. In the beginning of 2022, the old injury came back to haunt him. The rod in his shoulder had infected the entire arm. An immediate surgery was required. Any delay would have resulted in the arm getting amputated.
