The London Olympics will feature the largest Indian boxing contingent in the history of the sport with eight -- seven men and a woman -- fighting their way into the Olympic selections.
The Indian squad -- with names like Beijing Olympics bronze-medallist Vijender Singh and five-time world champion MC Mary Kom -- will represent the country this August.
