Indians all set for World Cup
Moscow: The Indian boxing quartet of Akhil Kumar, Jitender Kumar, A.L. Lakra and Dinesh Kumar is all set for a shot at World Cup glory when the five-day prize money event kicks-off here on Wednesday.
Akhil (54kg) and Jitender (51kg) got a direct entry to the tournament as they had made the quarterfinals in the Beijing Olympics, but Lakra (57kg) and Dinesh (81kg) found their way to the draw after a few pull-outs in their respective categories.
The event was originally open to only the top eight from the Beijing Games, but pull-outs forced the organisers to give wild cards.
The World Cup offers not just medals but cash prizes as well with the gold medallist getting $10,000 and the silver medallist and the bronze medallist pocketing $5,000 and $2,500 respectively. — PTI
