He may have returned empty-handed from the Beijing Olympics but Akhil Kumar made sure that there was one medal around his neck at the World Championships in Moscow. Akhil (54kg) fought hard losing on count-back to Olympic silver medallist Yankiel Leon Alarcon in the semi-finals at the AIBA Boxing World Cup in Moscow on Saturday. The boxer told CNN-IBN's Mendra Dorjey that his next ambition is to change the colour of the medal.
The pugilists were not received by even a single official from the federation.
