New Delhi: "It's as if someone cast an evil eye on Indian boxing", said national coach Gurbax Singh Sandhu as he tried to make sense of the downward spiral that gripped the sport's administration four years ago leaving the three Olympic-bound pugilists under pressure.

"I have seen the worst of time and the best as well. But right now, there is no federation for such a long time. There is nobody to look after us. Pressure is just too high," Sandhu said.
"We have Shiva and Vikas who are world medallists, Manoj is a Commonwealth Games champion.
"But we don't have the support of representation in the technical conduct of events. Things have deteriorated post 2012 but I am still positive.
"Damage has been done but let's hope for the best in future."
