I know I have the right team behind me and the biggest promoter in the world to ensure that I reach the very top in the sport,” he said.Nishant Dev had expressed his displeasure with the judgement of his quarter-final clash at the Paris Olympics 2024. A disappointed Nishant considered himself in contention for gold and suggested that India not only lost a bronze, but rather a bronze medal. The 23-year-old suffered a split-decision loss against Mexico’s Marco Verde Alvarez in the 71kg category on August 3. He was just one win away from assuring India another medal at the Paris Olympic Games. Nishant hoped that such things would not happen to any athlete.
