Injured Olympic bronze medallist Vijender Singh will give it a miss for the third time in a row but the 57th Men's National Boxing Championships will not be short of star power as a clutch of international medallists would vie for the top honours in the event, starting here tomorrow.

Vijender hurt his right hand during a sparring session at the national camp in Patiala and will not take the ring at the Nationals for the third year in a row.
