Vijender Singh (Boxing)
India would be hoping to better their tally of seven medals which they won in the previous edition of CWG with Vijender Singh leading the boxing contingent and Devendro Singh who currently ranked three in world in the 49-kg category and also won silver in the Asian Confederation boxing championship last year.
Boxing came into the limelight at the 2008 Beijing Olympics when Vijender Singh, the boxer from Bhiwani, punched his way to a bronze medal in the 75kg category, giving the nation its first medal in the sport. He followed it up with a bronze at the CWG in Delhi and gold at the Asiad, where he fought bravely despite a broken thumb. The boxer also acted in a Bollywood movie, but he hasn't lost focus and is sweating it out for the elusive gold.
