BOXING | CWG champ Sachin Siwach ready to take on the Asian Games
Commonwealth Games gold medalist Sachin Siwach is preparing for the upcoming Asian Games after overcoming years of injury and professional setbacks. He credits his recent success to resilience and mentorship from fellow boxer Amit Panghal.
Why it matters
The story highlights the personal struggles and professional development of elite athletes representing India on the global stage.
Armed with hard work and resilience, Sachin Siwach followed the advice of his roommate-cum-mentor Amit Panghal to overcome five years of struggle, win Commonwealth Games gold, and finally make his mark at the elite level.
Sachin, who matched his fellow villager and namesake to become the second World Youth champion from Mitathal village in Haryana in 2021, battled injuries, questionable verdicts, and hard luck as he failed to make an impact at big events like the Asian Games, World Championships, and Olympic qualifiers. Meanwhile, he medalled at the Asian Championships and in World Boxing Cup stages.
