His father Sher Singh retired from the Indian Army, while his mother is a housewife. Manoj Kumar initially started his career as an athlete, while his elder brother Rajesh Kumar Rajound was an emerging boxer. When Rajesh Kumar Rajound won gold in the University championship he was expecting to be selected for the National team. However he was ignored, and therefore decided to bring his younger brother into boxing. He started to coach Manoj Kumar and also insisted his younger brother Mukesh Kumar change from judo to boxing to become a sparring partner of Manoj Kumar. All three travelled from their village Rajound to Kaithal to train. In the early days they trained with the help of old bicycle tubes.〔(Manoj only new face in boxing - Indian Express )〕〔(Manoj Kumar | Olympic Gold Quest )〕 Manoj Kumar became National Champion for the first time when he beat defending champion Som Bahadur Pun in 2008.〔(Pun skips replay - The Hindu )〕〔(Railways claim National Boxing title - Rediff.com Sports )〕 After that Manoj never looked back.
