Shahrukh Khan starts boxing

There is now a boxing ring at Shahrukh Khan’s home,
Mannat. No, he isn’t practising boxing for a film or preparing for a match with
arch rival Aamir Khan. King Khan, who is into all kinds of sports activities,
had a boxing ring especially constructed for his 12-year-old son, Aryan. The
boxing ring at the Khan abode has been made by the 144-year-old sports shop
Wagle & Co at Dhobi Talao near Metro cinema. Owner Manohar Wagle says, “We have
constructed a children’s boxing ring on the play floor in Mannat. It was
challenging because we have never done something like this for an individual
before.

We are used to constructing for schools and clubs.
The space was smaller. We had to reduce the dimensions and the height of the
ring at Mannat but I think we did a Good job. Wagle says that Shahrukh’s people
contacted him and they had specific instructions of their requirement, “Actually
Aryan Wanted a WWF wrestling ring where the ropes are more flexible but at the
time, we didn’t have the stretchable ropes.

We finally used a substitute that isn’t as
stretchable.” Wagle adds, “We heard that Shahrukh was asking for a sports shop
to put up a boxing ring but no one could do it. Then someone told him about us.
Now Wagle, who has lost contact with the actor, says he has managed to get his
hands on the flexible ropes that Aryan Wanted.

If Shahrukh wants, I can put that in for him. I also
want to Aryan’s name printed and put on the four corners of the ring.”
