Olympics: Boxing Pictures

Indian boxer Vijender (R) practices with India's national boxing coach Gurbux Singh Sandhu at an institute of Sports Authority of India (SAI) in Patiala, in the northern Indian state of Punjab July 4, 2008. Eight years after agonisingly missing out on their first Olympic boxing medal, Indian boxers will enter the ring in Beijing buoyed after their impressive showing in the build up to next month's summer games. Medal-starved India will send its largest-ever boxing team to the Olympics after five made the grade with Vijender and Akhil Kumar having defeated Olympic medallists this year.
