TIL Desk Sports/ Vikas Krishan, one of the three Indian boxers to have qualified for the Rio Olympics, today said he has bright prospects of winning a bronze medal at the upcoming Games, which could be his last. Vikas (75kg) grabbed an Olympic berth with a bronze-medal finish at the recently-concluded International Boxing Association’s (AIBA) World Qualifying Tournament at Baku, Azerbaijan.
“I have a feeling that I will win a bronze medal at the Rio Olympics. I will have to win two bouts to bag a bronze. I am hoping to get a favorable draw as my world ranking is decent and hopefully I won’t face tough boxers in my first two rounds,” a modest Vikas told reporters at an event here.
“The fact that I will be fighting in same category in which Vijender Singh had won a bronze, I have a strong feeling that I will also finish third. Vijender had won a bronze at the World Championship and so did I, while he had bagged a silver at Asian Championship and I also did the same,” he added.
