KOLKATA: Boxer Shakti Mazumdar, who was a member of the Indian contingent at the 1952 Helsinki Olympic Games, passed away after suffering a heart-attack at his home in the Ballygunge area of Kolkata on Friday. He was 90.
A flyweight boxer, Mazumdar had got a walkover from Vietnam's Nguyen Van Cua, but later lost to South Korea's Han Soo-ann.
Mazumdar was a product of Ajoy Sinha's Ballygunge Boxing Institute and won two national titles in flyweight category despite the sport being dominated by army pugilists then. IANS
