Less than six months after taking the professional plunge, former world champion L Sarita Devi and Commonwealth Games bronze-medallist Pinki Jangra will return to amateur boxing after apologising to the national federation.
The two boxers, who had signed up with the Indian Boxing Council (IBC), will be re-joining the national camp after submitting letters of apology to the Boxing Federation of India (BFI) for abruptly leaving the amateur circuit not too long back. &ldquo;Pinki will be joining the camp from tomorrow, while Sarita will also be joining soon after taking care of some personal issues. Both of them have apologised.
While Sarita had not kept us in the loop when she turned professional, Pinki had left the camp without taking permission,&rdquo; said a top BFI official. The 31-year-old Sarita, who hasn't competed since winning her debut professional bout on January 29, is currently in Mumbai attending to her mother, who is unwell.
