Career

At the age of 10, he was refused to be trained by an academy because he was undernourished. Belonging to a financially weak family background, Sachin faced a lot of hardships with nutrition. The wheat produced by his father, was just enough to meet the family's needs. The main source needed was milk. One day, his father came across a stray cow and decided to claim it. He got it checked by the veterinarian and from the next day, Sachin's diet problem was solved.[1]

He won a gold medal in Commonwealth Youth Games in Bahamas.[2][3] He also won a gold medal in AIBA Youth World Boxing Championships in 2016.[4] He became the third Indian to win gold at the World Youth Championship after Nanao Singh in 2008 and Vikas Krishan in 2010.

In 2017, he won a silver medal in the 49 kg category at Asian Youth Boxing Championship held in Bangkok.[5] In 2018, at 19 years old, he competed in World Series of Boxing and defeated Russian debutanat Dorzho Radnaev in the light flyweight (49 kg) category.[6]

In 2019 he competed in the 52 kg category and was among the 6 semi-finalists in the 38th GeeBee Boxing Tournament in Helsinki, Finland.[7]
