New Delhi, Feb. 13 -- Barely a month after World Championships bronze medallist Nishant Dev turned professional, two-time Olympian boxer Amit Panghal has decided to go pro. Panghal, the only Indian male pugilist to win a World Championships silver (2019), has signed up with Critical Sports and Entertainment, a US-based talent management company.
"I have been in touch with them since Paris Olympics and I feel that with nothing much happening in India, there's no harm in trying the professional route," the 29-year-old said. "I feel I am stuck in India. There are no competitions, no camps, no quality training. I lost much of my last two years dealing with federation politics. It'll be nice to get away from all this and try something new."
