Exclusive: Despite serious injury, boxer Satish fought & won hearts | Tokyo Olympics
[ad_1]
Satish is the first heavyweight boxer from India to qualify for the Olympics. He got injured during his pre-quarter final win against Ricardo Brown of Jamaica at the Ryogoku Kokugikan Arena. The 32-year-old was given medical clearance to fight in the quarterfinal in the morning.
Jalalov was very strong and attacked frequently, landing punches on the target. Satish hung in there and counter-attacked but his opponent’s defence was too strong and thus could not get past it. He made many attempts to score but couldn’t clinch the result in his favour.
