If Amit Panghal (52 kg category) is the star of India’s five-member men’s boxing contingent heading at the Tokyo Olympics, Vikas Krishan (69 kg) is the spine.

Krishan is not just the most experienced boxer in the group but also the most accomplished. Among his leading achievements is a World Championships bronze (in 2011) besides gold medals at both, Asian Games (2010) and Commonwealth Games (2018), alongside a host of other international medals.
