In fact this is the first time Danisha Mathialagan, who has her roots in Namakkal (Tamil Nadu), and the rest of the Singapore team are at the world event.

Anyone could have been disheartened given the state of sport in their country but not Danisha. She radiates positivity as she explains what keeps her wanting to keep the fire for the sport burning. "I feel I have a solid team. The coaches, who are ex-boxers, have been really supportive. They know how it feels to not have funds, not have enough exposure. I guess, with this, in this new team, we are trying to achieve greater things."
