Chhapra (June 28): Dighwara, a small township in Bihar’s Saran district is going on the path of Bhiwani in Haryana which is considered strongest hub of sports in India mainly in the field of Boxing, wrestling and other games. Likewise 4 members of local Ram Jangal Singh Boxing Club represented National team in World Kick Boxing championship (2016) at Italy and won medals for the country.

Talking about its foundation at Dighwara, Amit Kumar said that credit goes to one Roshan Singh, an Army man of village Ram Das Chak under Dighwar block who introduced this game at Dighwara. “In the beginning people of this rural town were shy in sending their daughters for practice but when they found this as a nice tool for self defense, they allowed them to participate” said Amit adding that documentary film on the kick Boxing of Dighwara has been very popular on social media..

When contacted Ashok Kumar Singh, a social worker at Dighwara said that considering the interest of some of the local boys and girls Ram Jangal Singh Boxing Club was established in 2008 on the premises of Ram Jangal Singh College (Dighwara) and later this Club has been renamed as ‘Kick Boxing Club in 2014’. Ashok said that the athletes practiced on the stage of the college without any ring and registered their talents in different championships. He further said that recently we have procured a standard Boxing ring from Jullunder and our boys are being trained in this modern ring. Ashok, who went to Italy as Team Manager of Indian Kick boxing squad, said “Our Boxers Sumeet and Priyanka won Silver medals while Dhiraj Kant and Aman won Bronze for the country. He further informed that Boxers like Shubham, Varsha Rani, Pallavi, Komal, Jyoti, Priya etc have shown their talents in state and national championships.

When contacted, Priyanka, one of the International Boxer said “Previously we faced lot of problems to practice without standard ring, but now when this has been made available our Boxers would definitely perform better”. Dhiraj, Coach of the local Boxing team hoped that now our Boxers would definitely improve their talents to compete in international championships.”
