NEW DELHI: Soft spoken to the extent that one has to lean towards his face to listen to what he is saying. That’s Mohammad Hussamuddin for you. The Nizamabad boxer, who won a bronze in his debut world championships, comes from a family of pugilists. His father Mohammad Shamsamuddin was a national-level boxer and his three other brothers – Mohammad Ehteshamuddin, Mohammad Ehtesaamuddin and Mohammad Qayamuddin – are also boxers of pedigree.
Initially, Hussamuddin was afraid to don the gloves until his father Shamsamuddin, who is a boxing coach now, got him to shed that fear and took him under his wings.
