St. Germains Academy siblings Yahya, Isa Khan secure Gold at CISCE Nationals in Boxing again
Bengaluru: In a stellar display of pugilistic prowess, Isa Khan (15) and Yahya Khan (13), students of St. Germains Academy, emerged triumphant yet again by securing gold at the 3rd CISCE Nationals Boxing Championship, held in Ranchi from November 1 to 5, 2023.
This victory follows their earlier success at the State championship and underscores their rising prominence in the boxing arena.
Isa, competing in the under-17 category, and Yahya, in the under-14 category, showcased a level of skill and tenacity that belies their age. Trained under the tutelage of Abhisheak Samson, a distinguished South Zone Boxing Champion and State Champion, the Khan brothers have etched their mark on the boxing landscape.
Their journey to victory has not been without its share of challenges. Battling injuries and setbacks over the past month, Isa and Yahya demonstrated perseverance and commitment to their craft. Coach Abhisheak Samson, hailing from Steve’s Boxing Club in Bengaluru, played a pivotal role in honing their skills and guiding them through the rigorous training regimen, their mother Huda told Vartha Bharati.
Isa Khan, a 10th-grade student at St. Germains Academy, exemplifies dedication by successfully balancing academic responsibilities with his intensive training schedule. His routine involves early morning tuitions, followed by a transition to school, and concludes with evening boxing practice.
St. Germains Academy has played a significant role in supporting the brothers' academic and athletics both. The school's Director, Dean, and Principal have extended their assistance beyond the classroom, ensuring that Isa and Yahya receive the necessary encouragement and backing to excel in their sporting endeavors.
Huda, the proud mother of Isa and Yahya, expressed her gratitude towards St. Germains Academy and its administration. "The Director, Dean, and the Principal of St.Germain Academy are very helpful in every aspect. They even care about Isa and Yahya's food and sleep," she remarked.
With black belts in Taekwondo adding to their sporting repertoire, the Khan brothers are not merely satisfied with local success. The family envisions Isa and Yahya as future stalwarts, fondly referring to them as the "Kings of Rings." This recent victory at the national level further fuels their aspirations.
Looking ahead, Isa and Yahya are pre-qualified for the School Games Federation of India Boxing Championship slated for December 2023 in Maharashtra.
Earlier last year, Isa Khan and Yahya Khan, representing the CISCE Karnataka Boxing Team had bagged a gold and a silver medal at the CISCE National Boxing Championship 2022. The competition was held at the JRD Tata Sports Complex in Jamshedpur between September 1 and September 3, 2022.
