NEW DELHI: Aiming for the final Olympic tickets, Indian boxers will be motivated to overcome recent disappointments in and out of the ring when they compete in the second World Qualification Tournament, which gets underway in Bangkok on Friday.
Indian boxers had four quotas going into the most recent qualifying event, but to their great shame, that number has now dropped to three since women's 57kg champion Parveen Hooda was given a 22-month ban for her whereabouts failure this month.
