The training camp for India's Tokyo-bound women boxers has been shifted from coronavirus-plagued New Delhi to the western city of Pune as the country chases its best Olympic performance ever later this year in the Japanese capital.
Their Delhi camp was disrupted last month when 21 athletes and coaches tested positive for COVID-19, though they did not include any of the country's Olympic-qualified boxers.
"With a surge in COVID-19 cases, the decision was taken to shift the camp to Pune," the Boxing Federation of India (BFI) said in a statement on Wednesday.
