Rajeeth Singh Sethi
Boxing as a sport demands more physical fitness and resilience than anything else out there and making a career out of it isn't everyone's cup of tea. Rajeeth Singh Sethi is one person who stands apart from the crowd.
Ever since he was a young kid, Rajeeth started developing a keen interest in boxing. His uncle is a former national boxer and his prime inspiration apart from boxing legends like Muhammad Ali and Mike Tyson.
Rajeeth aims to be the next big name in the Indian boxing circuit and has been dedicating all his time training and preparing himself. When he was only 14 years old, he took up boxing and has won several titles on the school and district level.
He has been recovering from past injuries and resting. Talking about the same, he shares, "Boxing is a sport that requires a lot of resilience, one is bound to get hurt and if you don't take proper care of yourself and rest when it's needed, it could harm you and your career."
