A confident Nishant Dev has set his sights on bettering the shade of India’s boxing medals from bronze to gold at this month’s Paris Olympics.

Three Indian boxers — Vijender Singh (2008), MC Mary Kom (2012) and Lovlina Borgohain (2021) — have stood on the podium at the Olympics, all winning bronze medals. But Dev is confident he has the skillset to not only reach the light middleweight (71kg) final but win the elusive gold medal. “My target is to change the colour of the medal in boxing. Our country’s boxers have won bronze medals but not gold or silver till now,” Dev said. “I want to convert that bronze to not silver but gold.”

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
