Manish Kaushik ended up being the only gold medal winner as Indian men’s boxing team’s final campaign at the 35th Boxam International Tournament in Castellon, Spain was derailed by a positive Covid-19 case resulting in three withdrawals from the summit clashes.
Kaushik (63kg) beat Denmark’s Nikolai Terteryan in the summit clash to complete a brilliant comeback from a knee injury which kept him out of action for a year.
