Nishant Dev (born 23 December 2000) is an Indian amateur boxer.[1] He won bronze medal in the 71 kg category at the IBA Men's World Boxing Championships in Tashkent, Uzbekistan.[2]
Nishant took up boxing in 2012, inspired by his uncle, who was a professional boxer. He used to train under coach Surendra Chauhan at the Karan Stadium. Nishant's father used to wake him up at 4 in the morning and accompany him to training and did the same in the evening to ensure that his son was trained well.[3][4]
