August 20th, 2008 was a turning point for Indian boxing. A bronze medal at the Beijing Olympics - the very first by an Indian boxer - brought India on to the sport's world map. But there was more, another bronze, another first, this time at the 2009 AIBA World Boxing Championship in Milan. And that wasn't the end, there were other achievements to follow and the story of VIJENDER SINGH BENIWAL continues as London beckons.
