Almost eighty boxers from 16 countries including  England, France, Hungary, India, Portugal, Russia, Scotland, Wales and  hosts Finland will take part in the event.\u00a0 <\/p>\n<p>The 32nd edition of  the tournament will see India making its first appearance with Asian  Games silver medallist V Santosh Kumar (64kg), National Games gold  medallists M B Lakra (60kg) and Sumit Sangwan (81kg) along with Reigning  National Champion Madan Lal (52kg). The four Indian pugilists  accompanied with Coach Jagdeep Hooda constitute for a young and  inexperienced Indian Team. With an idea to provide boxers adequate  international exposure and an opportunity to excel at the international  arena, the Indian Boxing Federation has decided to field a team for the  Tammer Tournament also known as the Tammer Cup.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/p>\n<p>National  Coach GS Sandhu believes participation in these tournaments play a vital  role in the development of a boxer as they provided a good deal of  exposure and an opportunity to excel and make a name for themselves. He  further added, \u201cSome of these boxers know that they would not be going  to the Olympics (as a qualification has already been achieved in their  weight category), therefore it is imperative for these boxers to keep  getting match practice and be motivated by performing at such events. It  is a twofold strategy that helps the boxers know that they are not just  sparring partners and the tables could turn with just one good  performance\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Reigning National Champion in his weight category  Santosh, the most experience of the lot travelling to Finland, would be  making his third international appearance this year. The Andhra boxer,  who just turned 20 this month, has had a favourable performance with one  gold medal from two tournaments (He won the gold in the 21st  President\u2019s Cup International Boxing Tournament). With an Olympic berth  already having been secured by Commonwealth Games gold medallist Manoj  Kumar in his weight division, Santosh keeps himself motivated looking at  long term goals. He expressed, \u201cI am just 20 and there is a long road  ahead and I am sure there will be plenty of opportunities along the way.  Tournaments like the Tammer cup provide us a platform to rub shoulder  with international boxers from around the world and be on top of our  game\u201d.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><strong>New Delhi:<\/strong> While one boxing team left for London to take part  in the London Boxing International Invitational tournament on Tuesday,  another left the capital city of Delhi on Wednesday to participate in  the 32nd International Tammer Tournament, slated to be held from the  24th to the 27th of November in Tampere, Finland.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"tdm_status":"","tdm_grid_status":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[56],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1078","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","category-boxing-boxing"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Indian boxing team leaves for Tammer Cup - IndianSportsNews.com - Latest Updated Sports News &amp;
