Boxing India will appeal Sarita Devi's suspension

October 27, 2014 14:24

Sanjay Jajodia, President, Boxing India, says Sarita Devi's suspension is unfortunate and Boxing India would appeal apart from her own apology to AIBA.

Boxing India has said that it was confident of L Sarita Devi's return to the ring before too long after the International Boxing Federation (AIBA) suspended the 29-year-old for her petulant display at the recent Asian Games at Incheon, South Korea.

Sarita was furious after losing her semi-final bout in women's lightweight division to local favourite Park Ji-na and lodged a protest against the verdict which was rejected.

The adamant boxer refused to wear the bronze medal and left it behind when the presentation was over, an action she subsequently regretted in a letter to AIBA, reports Reuters.
