A southpaw with concussive power in both hands, and a spell-binding defence, he is a rising star in the sport. Rajiv cut his teeth boxing as an amateur in the U.K, Europe and the U.S and earned numerous titles and accolades along the way. He is also a rarity within professional boxing being that he works full-time at an investment bank; his is a story that has generated some interest along the way and has resulted in a 6 page article in GQ magazine (UK edition, Sept 2002), Mens Health (India Edition, June 2009) and a documentary on Channel 4 (UK, 2003). As a professional Rajiv is trained by Nirmal Lorick (trainer to Luis Collazo, Travis Simms, Jaidon Codrington, Dmitry Salita) and, as such, gains huge experience from sharing the ring as a sparring partner to world champions and leading contenders and joining them during the rigours of training camp. He brings all that experience to LA Boxing Norwalk, albeit on a limited basis, as he also focuses on his professional career in tandem. Rajiv will be leading a boxing technique class on Sunday mornings, and is available for Personal Training by request. |
