Nanao&#8217;s cause was helped by the fact that rising star L Devendro Singh was forced out of the trials due to a cut above the eye. Laid low by injuries, Nanao defeated Commonwealth Games gold winner Amandeep Singh among others to secure his place.<\/p>\n<p>According to a report in <strong>The Times Of India,<\/strong> Vijender Singh, who was India&#8217;s first medallist in the World Championships &#8212; a bronze in 2009, took to the ring in a packed hall against rising boxer Sukhdeep Singh, who fought him without a headguard.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There was a little bit of pressure, it is just that I am good at hiding it. But I kept getting better with every round and ultimately, I am feeling good about my game,&#8221; the former world number one in middleweight said in a chat after the bout.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I am happy with my performance in the trials but I can always do better. But for the time being, I am just relaxed that I did well in my comeback,&#8221; added the boxer, who went through quite a bit of turmoil earlier this year after getting implicated in a drug scandal, in which he was later cleared.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile according to a report in <strong>The Indian Express<\/strong> the under-pressure Indian boxing Federation on Wednesday said it will conduct a re-election and has amended its constitution as instructed by the International Boxing Association (AIBA) after the world body threatened a blanket ban on the country&#8217;s boxers and coaches following the October World Championships. &#8220;We are ready for elections. We have already incorporated whatever changes AIBA suggested in our constitution and have sent the draft to them yesterday,&#8221; IBF Secretary General Rajesh Bhandari said.<br \/>&#8220;They are free to send an observer for the elections. As soon as we get the approved constitution draft from AIBA, we would call a meeting of our general body to fix up the date of election,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>AIBA had threatened to bar Indian boxers and coaches from all international events after the October World Championships if the IBF fails to hold a re-election by November 4. &#8220;Office-bearers will have to retire at 70 and there would be no more then two terms for the President and Secretary General,&#8221; he added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Vijender Singh (75kg) made a return to the Indian boxing team along with Thokchom Nanao Singh (49kg) as the selectors picked the team for the World Championships after a two-day trial here on Wednesday, says a report in Deccan Chronicle, adding that there were hardly any surprises in the team, which will compete under the [&hellip;]<\/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":[52],"tags":[5172,10701,10702,822,493],"class_list":["post-17217","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","category-from-the-newspapers","tag-aiba","tag-l-davendro-singh","tag-thokchow-nanao-singh","tag-vijender-singh","tag-world-championships"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.0 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Vijender makes a return to the Indian boxing team, says he is good about his game - IndianSportsNews.com - Latest Updated Sports News &amp;
