He refused to speak to the media in the morning, put his cell phone on silent mode and tried to shut out the world outside. He knows he has an unfinished job on hand and does not want to be reminded of what happened on Wednesday night. He does not want to revel in the fact that he became the first Indian boxer to ensure the country an Olympics medal. It must have kept coming back to him the night before, flooding his mind with emotions. But that was the night before. Euphoria has been put to rest for now.
‘‘He is focusing on the big fight. He could not sleep last night. Please don’t disturb him. He won’t speak to anyone now. Call in the evening,’’ Sandhu said. There’s nothing new to say anyway. This 23-year-old middleweight boxer from Bhiwani had said what he wanted to after creating history last night. ‘‘I do not want to think about what has happened today. I have a lot of work to do. The Cuban is a strong boxer so I want to ready. I’m going for gold,’’ he had said.
