Vikas let off with warning
World Championships-bound Indian boxer Vikas Krishan has been let off with a warning for forfeiting his Asian Championships semi-final bout earlier this year, marking an end to the disciplinary inquiry against him.
New Delhi: World Championships-bound Indian boxer Vikas Krishan has been let off with a warning for forfeiting his Asian Championships semi-final bout earlier this year, marking an end to the disciplinary inquiry against him.
The middleweight (75kg) boxer, who was the top seed in the Asian meet in Tashkent, had given a walkover to Korean Lee Dongyun in the semifinal during the April 30 to May 7 event.
The 25-year-old, a former World Championships bronze-medallist, is currently in Hamburg, Germany with the eight-member Indian team which will compete in the upcoming edition of the mega-event, starting August 25.
"He has been given a warning for what happened and the matter is now closed. The disciplinary panel spoke to him and we came to the conclusion that a warning would suffice," a top Boxing Federation of India (BFI) said on condition of anonymity.
The boxer, who had a World Series of Boxing (WSB) bout on May 11 in Paris, had claimed that he got caught up in a confusion over his travel plans, which led to him forfeiting the Asian Championship bout.
Subsequently, the BFI denied him permission to compete in the WSB bout as well.The BFI then constituted a three-member disciplinary committee to conduct an inquiry into the matter.
