I have already fought one in Uzbekistan in February where I lost. I am confident that I would win this one,” said Vikas. Asked if competing just a night before leaving for an Olympic qualifier is not a risky proposition, Vikas said he has weighed the pros and cons. “There is a risk of injury but that risk is there in every sparring session we have at the training camp. Things can go wrong anywhere and we can’t control that. I don’t think it is that big a risk if I fight on June 11 because I am confident that I would pull it off. I am sure that I would be competing in Azerbaijan as well,” he said. The Qualifiers in Azerbaijan have 39 Olympic slots on offer and Vikas’ category will have five berths. The qualifiers in Venezuela are a final shot at Rio tickets for those participating in the AIBA-promoted World Series of Boxing and APB. The event will also be open to professional boxers from all over the world. “The June 11 bout will be held at a Noida mall and it has all the requisite permissions from AIBA,” said an official of PBOI.

However with large number of opportunities available to the German team both at home and in neighbouring countries, they too have chances of coming back strongly in the coming weeks. The Indian team now needs to compete regularly in Europe and improve performances to remain in the top16 as only 16 qualified teams are allowed to compete in Rio in each relay event.

Competing in this bout would make me eligible for the final Olympic Qualifiers in Venezuela in July, where pro boxers from all over the world would be participating,” Vikas told PTI.

LONDON: A consortium headed by American businessmen Jason Levien and Steve Kaplan has purchased a controlling stake in Swansea, the Premier League club announced on Sunday. The deal, concluded after lengthy negotiations, will see Huw Jenkins remain in an executive role and charged with the day-to-day running of the club.“Jason and Steve have vast experience in running sporting franchises in America,” Swansea said in an official statement on their website. Jason is managing general owner of MLS side, DC United while Steve is the executive vice-chairman of the Memphis Grizzlies in the NBA.

Thailand’s shopping magnate Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha paid £39m ($60m) for the club in 2010, overseeing the greatest rags to riches story in football when his 5,000-1 shots sealed the Premier League title last month.

health problems complicated by a long battle with Parkinson’s disease. The official cause of death was septic shock due to unspecified natural causes. Ali’s relatives will accompany his body from Scottsdale, Arizona to Louisville, his hometown in the southern state of Kentucky. After a private family funeral on Thursday, Ali’s coffin will be transported through
modest childhood home, now a museum, to pay their respects. “Our hearts are literally hurting. But we are happy daddy is free now,” Ali’s daughter Hana Ali wrote on Twitter. Ali was hospitalized in the Phoenix area early this week, but his condition quickly deteriorated. “His final hours were spent with just immediate family,” Gunnell said. “He did not suffer.” Ali had been living in the Phoenix area with Lonnie, his fourth wife whom he married in 1986. He was survived by nine children - seven daughters and two sons. The fighter himself planned much of the memorial events, Gunnell said. The interfaith service is to be conducted at Louisville’s KFC Yum! Center in accordance with “Muslim tradition” and in the presence of an imam. Ali will be buried at Cave Hill Cemetery in Louisville, where he was born in 1942. Outside the family home in Louisville and the hospital in Scottsdale, fans left flowers, letters and mementos.Fans also gathered in Los Angeles to snap photos and leave flowers at Ali’s star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
