New Delhi, July 24: One of the medal prospects for India in the upcoming Commonwealth Games (CWG), boxer Sanjeet Kumar says he does not like to lose, neither in the ring, nor in life.
The 2021 Asian Championship gold medallist will keep no stone unturned to emulate his achievement in the CWG 2022.
“As I said, I don’t want to lose, I just hate losing. So if I win all the matches, I will get gold. The stakes are high for me after Asian Championship. I will try my best to win gold,” Sanjeet, the silver medallist in 91 kg in 2018 CWG, told IANS.
When asked what the Asian Championship gold means to him, he said, “It was one of the proudest moments in my life. I beat the boxer (Vassiliy Levit of Kazakhstan) who had knocked me out. It was a pleasure to win the gold by defeating him. When he knocked me out in 2018, I had decided to take revenge. I worked hard, rectified my shortcomings and then the result is in front of everyone. I take defeat very seriously.”
“The ultimate goal is to win a medal in the Paris Games. The CWG and other events are like a ladder to reach there.” (IANS)
