India victory in Kabaddi World Cup against Pakistan declared ‘illegal’

LAHORE: The International Kabaddi Federation (IKF) on Tuesday declared India’s win in the Kabaddi World Cup 2014 against Pakistan illegal.

Devraj Chaturvedi, IKF Chief Executive Officer (CEO) dissolved the victory of India, saying that the tournament could not be called a World Cup as international rules were not implemented in the tournament.

He added that a World Cup would be conducted in the coming year. Chaturvedi said that unbiased referees adjudicate big events whereas there were Indian referees in the final.

Earlier, the final match of the Kabaddi World Cup 2014 became controversial when Indian referees gave biased judgement in favour of their homeland upon which Pakistan referred the matter to the IKF after refusing to accept India’s win in the match

Amir Khan well and truly earned his place among the three best welterweights in the world after his convincing win over Devon Alexander, says Sportsmail's Jeff Powell in Las Vegas.

The Bolton welterweight now 'deserves' to get his long-awaited fight against Floyd Mayweather Jr, but if the champion watched Khan in action - as he said he would - he may be having second thoughts. The American's potential clash with Manny Pacquiao makes that meeting complicated.

Regardless, Khan 'completely outclassed, dominated and dazzled' on the Strip and delivered on his promise to make a statement in this fight. 'Khan is heading for greatness,' says Powell
