Amateur boxing used to be one of the best performing codes, bringing numerous accolades from high profile international competitions, but now, the sport finds itself hitting the canvas.

The last time boxing won a recognisable medal at an international platform was during the 2010 Commonwealth Games in New Delhi through Tirafalo Seoko who got silver while Oteng Oteng finished with a bronze.
