Eager for national boxing camp to start: Chief coach Kuttappa

The Hindu  

India’s chief men’s boxing coach C. A. Kuttappa says he cannot wait for the national camp to resume on June 10 after the COVID-19-forced disruption as he is not satisfied with the Olympic-bound pugilists’ fitness training at home. Kuttappa spoke about the challenges of training in the post COVID-19 world, admitting that he doesn’t know how it would be but is nonetheless looking forward to understand “the unknown“. “This was the first time in 24 years that I stayed at home for such a long time,” said Kuttappa, a former boxer, who is credited for shaping the likes of Olympic bronze-medallist Vijender Singh. Having spent the better part of the last two months playing carrom and badminton with his nine-year-old daughter Yudhi, Kuttappa said he is now looking forward to training the “boys”, who are his family for most of the year in normal circumstances.
