His dream of clinching a second Asiad gold cut short by an injury, Indian boxer Vikas Krishan yesterday hinted that he will switch to professional boxing in order to prepare for an elusive Olympic medal at 2020 Tokyo Games. The Haryana boxer had won a bronze at Jakarta after failing to turn up for the semi-final contest due to a cut above his eye suffered during an earlier bout.

"Sometimes luck doesn't favour you and you miss out. I wanted a gold, but due to the eye injury I couldn't. I really want to win a medal at Olympics. I don't want to leave it to the draw or the level of competition," he said.
