He will follow in the footsteps of World Championship bronze -madallist Zoram Thanga and Asian Games champ Dingko Singh. The north-east is the other nursery of boxing talent after Bhiwani, and like the small twon in Haryana, is extremely neglected.

I doubt this will find a significant mention tomorrows papers, esp since an India Australia test series is on and one page is reserved (read bought out) by IPL! Sadly event he stadium was practically empty! Boxing not big in Mexico also I guess. Great site though! Keep up the good work! Saving Thokchom's success from obscurity!

Am sure now many will follow once the laggardly Indian media picks up this piece of news.
