Aizawl teen punches through adversity to win Khelo India gold in Bihar

Aizawl, May 14 (UNI) In a remarkable display of grit and determination, 17-year-old Samuel Zadeng of Mizoram struck gold at the ongoing Khelo India Youth Games (KIYG) in Bihar, clinching the top spot in the boys’ 70kg boxing category.
His victory over Uttar Pradesh’s Peaveen Yadav, secured by a commanding 5-0 unanimous decision, marked Mizoram’s maiden medal at this edition of the national youth sporting event.
Samuel’s triumph is more than just a sporting milestone—it is a hard-earned reward for a youngster balancing athletic dreams with personal hardships. Hailing from Aizawl’s Bawnkawn locality, Samuel has been fighting a battle far beyond the boxing ring. His father, ZD Lalremsanga, a former national-level boxer, has been grappling with a serious neurological illness since 2019, which has left the family dependent on a modest army pension and burdened with ongoing medical expenses.
