Representing my country on such a prestigious platform is a top priority for me. If you don’t view your nation while participating in global events, something is lacking. I’m honored to be the first Indian male wrestler in this position, and I aim to make my nation proud.” Sangram said.
There are many other top notable fighters in the card instead of Sangram and Ali Raza’s fight. Fighters from Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Ukraine and Pakistan.
I am nervous and I want my debut to be a memorable match. I am not so obsessed about winning rather than hoping to earn the respect of my peers and fans,” he added.
