Akhil Kumar, supported by SA Mittal Champions Trust, will be undergoing a surgery in the carpal joint of his right wrist in Johannesburg, South Africa on Wednesday.
The Haryana pugilist, who injured his wrist last year, has been undergoing a rehabilitation programme under the supervision of South African physiotherapist Heath McNeil Mathews for the last five weeks — first in Bangalore and later on in Durban.
