Boxer Nishant Dev Eyes Olympic Success Through Pro Stint
Indian pugilist Nishant Dev believes that his stint in the physically-demanding professional circuit will help him develop endurance, which will be key when he takes another shot at fulfilling his Olympic dream at the 2028 Los Angeles Games. Dev turned professional earlier this year, owing to his close loss in the Paris Games quarterfinals and the state of flux surrounding boxing's Olympic future. In amateur boxing, a bout lasts a maximum of nine minutes with three rounds of three minutes each whereas in Pro boxing, the bouts can stretch to even 12 rounds. "One of the biggest reasons to go professional was that my endurance and stamina was low. To improve that, I joined professional boxing, so that I am used to playing more rounds in pro and when I come back to amateur boxing, I can handle three rounds," Dev said on the final day of the women's National Championships.
