National Games: Coach dies, boxer pays tribute with gold medal

Maharashtra boxer won gold in the men's middleweight category, but stood on top of the podium, devoid of any joy. He looked skywards and thanked his coach and mentor, Dhananjay Tiwari, with folded hands. Tiwari wasn't among the spectators at the Mahatma Mandir Complex's boxing arena in Gandhinagar to cheer and watch his ward secure the biggest medal of his nascent boxing career. The coach died tragically in a highway accident while riding his bike from Mumbai to Gujarat to watch his ward in action. "I cherish this medal. I will always be thankful to my coach for shaping up my career. I'll miss him," said Dubey. After winning his quarterfinal bout on Monday, Dubey called his Mumbai-based coach to inform him about his high-octane clash against reigning national champion Sumit Kundu in the semis. The excited coach readied himself for a bike ride from Mumbai to Gandhinagar. But he met with a road accident on his way and succumbed to his injuries by the time Dubey won his 75kg category bout against the Services boxer. "It was his dream that I would win my bout against Kundu and fight for the gold medal. I spoke to him on Monday and told him I was fighting Kundu. He was so excited and said he was coming for my bout. He said, 'I know you have the ability to beat him and win the gold'," an emotional Dubey said after winning the title.
