BFI advises home quarantine, health clearances for boxers returning from Jordan

13 boxers and as many coaching staff return on Thursday

Vikas Krishan assured of at least silver; Amit Panghal, Lovlina Borgohain settle for bronze

Both the Indian pugilists find one better in their semi-final opponents at the Asian Olympic qualifier

On Saturday, Panghal settled for a silver medal in the championships as he lost the final match to Uzbekistan's Shakhobidin Zoirov.

Panghal became the first Indian boxer to claim a silver medal at the just-concluded World Championships in Ekaterinburg, Russia.

He becomes the first Indian male boxer to win a silver in the prestigious tournament.

Second-seeded Panghal prevailed 3-2 in an exhausting bout to make the summit clash.

Amit Panghal is having a stellar run ever since the bronze he took at the 2017 Asian Championships.

As he is still soaking in the glory and getting all the love in his village, somewhere disappointment of the award snub is visible.

Amit weighed just 1.5 kg at birth, his frail structure being a concern for his farmer father Vijender Singh and mother Usha Rani.

After rest for around a week, Panghal will get back to training with Tokyo Olympics being his target.
