Thanks to their decent showings in recent years, Boxing Federation of India (BFI) president Abhay Singh Chautala has pinned his hopes on the pugilists to bring laurels to the country in the upcoming London Olympics. Chautala told PTI today that there was a time when the foreign pugilists used to take Indian boys lightly. He said the scenario has changed now. Chautala said India have been recognised as a world force in the sport. Four Indian boxers — Vikas Krishan (69kg), Jai Bhagwan (60kg), Manoj Kumar (64kg) and L Devendro Singh (49kg) — have so far booked their tickets to the London Games. Chautala said he was hopeful that the others will also follow the suit during the Asian Continental Olympic Qualifying Boxing Championship to be held in April in Astana, Kazakhstan. Chautala said some of the boys could also qualify for the sporting extravaganza through the ongoing World Series Boxing (WSB).
