A confident Nishant Dev has set his sights on bettering the shade of India’s boxing medals from bronze to gold at this month’s Paris Olympics.
Three Indian boxers -- Vijender Singh (2008), MC Mary Kom (2012) and Lovlina Borgohain (2021) -- have stood on the podium at the Olympics, all winning bronze medals.
But Dev is confident he has the skillset to not only reach the the light middle-weight (71kg) final but win the elusive gold medal.
“My target is to change the colour of the medal in boxing. Our country’s boxers have won bronze medals but not gold or silver till now,” Dev said during an interaction facilitated by JSW Sports.
