A retired boxing coach in Tirunelveli, Tamil Nadu, offers kids free training

The news has been made public by retired Sports Authority of India (SAI) Boxing Chief Coach Shiv Kumar Pal, who gave pupils free boxing instruction at the VOC stadium in Tirunelveli, Tamil Nadu. He has been teaching youngsters for a few years now, according to Local18 Tamil, and he has helped several of them become great boxers.

Under Shiv Kumar’s guidance, these athletes have won several competitions at the state and national levels and taken home medals. The boxing coach is from an Uttar Pradeshi farming family from Kanpur. Even once his employment is over, he devotes all of his time to teaching the pupils boxing since he is passionate about the sport.

“I have experience working as a head trainer in the World Boxing Association,” he said. I have spent almost twenty-five years coaching men and women in boxing. He was trained as a wrestler at first, but in 1975 he decided he preferred boxing. At the state and national levels, he took home several medals. To support himself, he began practicing law, but he eventually quit to focus exclusively on boxing.

Shiv Kumar was subsequently chosen as the boxing coach by the national government. He claims that he moved to Tirunelveli because of a shift in employment and spent the next three years instructing them. He then used Abdul Niwas, the current proprietor of the Diamond House Hotel, one of his best pupils, as an example. According to Shiv Kumar, Abdul’s kid is now receiving instruction from him.

In addition to boxing, Shiv Kumar has worked all around India and has sportsmanship outside volleyball as well. He claims that several of his former pupils have been assigned to important posts in the Indian army, navy, air force, police, and other departments in all of the country’s states. Shiv Kumar claims that he developed a number of successful athletes while serving as the Indian women’s boxing team’s head coach. This includes people who have world records, such as Mary Kom. He was given the chance to work at Tirunelveli once again in 2008.
