My fourth world championship title is the most memorable for me…

My Boxing career has been quite eventful. There are so many moments in my life that are so close to my heart. The first world boxing champion title had its own charm. But what left me with a more lasting memory was when after a two-year break, I got hold of the fourth successive World Amateur Boxing gold in 2008. I could feel the lack of confidence in myself on entering the ring for this championship, but somewhere inside was a belief that I could bounce back with my natural style of boxing. Fortunately I played well and my performance got me the fourth world championship title, which also helped in regaining my confidence and the spirit with which I use to play with before. It was a proud moment for me as things were not easy post-break. All I could remember were the faces of my children.
