India had earned three quotas at the 2022 Asian Games through Nikhat Zareen (women\u2019s 50kg), Preeti (54kg) and Tokyo Olympics bronze medallist Lovlina Borgohain (75kg) by virtue of all of them finishing on the podium in Guangzhou, China.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Nishant Dev became the first Indian male boxer to secure a Paris berth earlier this week when he defeated Moldova\u2019s Vasile Cebotari in the 71kg quarterfinals.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Panghal added to that list on Saturday with a fine display of tenacity and aggression against Chunag, who had drawn first blood by claiming Round 1 4:1 on the back with some fine punches.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
But the Indian national champion came out all guns blazing in Round 2 and attacked relentlessly to grab the advantage, impressing all the five judges. The deciding round was a frantic display of boxing by both pugilists as they attempted to outpunch each other.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Panghal ultimately came out on top as he smartly manoeuvred his Chinese opponent and landed his combination on his face and body to clinch the bout with a unanimous verdict.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
India can clinch two more Paris Olympic berths later this evening with Jaismine to take on Mali\u2019s Marine Camara in the women\u2019s 57kg quarterfinals while Sachin Siwach will face Kyrgyzstan\u2019s Munarbek Seiitbek Uul in the third place play-off in men\u2019s 57kg category to decide who clinches the quota.<\/p>\r\n\r\n", "image": "https:\/\/img.cricketnmore.com\/uploads\/2024\/06\/boxing-world-qualifiers-amit-panghal-clinches-fifth-paris-olympic-quota-for-india-ld.jpeg", "alt_img": "Boxing World Qualifiers: Amit Panghal clinches fifth Paris Olympic quota for India (Ld)", "alt_title": "Boxing World Qualifiers: Amit Panghal clinches fifth Paris Olympic quota for India (Ld)", "image1": null, "video": null, "seo_title": "Boxing World Qualifiers: Amit Panghal Clinches Fifth Paris Olympic Quota For India (Ld) On Cricketnmore", "seo_desc": "Boxing World Qualifiers: Amit Panghal Clinches Fifth Paris Olympic Quota For India (Ld), Boxing World Qualifiers: 2022 Commonwealth Games gold medallist Amit Panghal earned a unanimous 5:0 verdict against China\u2019s Liu Chuang in.", "seo_keywords": "Boxing World Qualifiers, Amit Panghal, Paris Olympic, Commonwealth Games, Liu Chuang, Asian Games, Nikhat Zareen, Tokyo Olympics, Lovlina Borgohain, Nishant Dev, Vasile Cebotari, Marine Camara, Sachin Siwach, Munarbek Seiitbek Uul", "tag": "", "tagging": "Boxing World Qualifiers, Amit Panghal, Paris Olympic, Commonwealth Games, Liu Chuang, Asian Games, Nikhat Zareen, Tokyo Olympics, Lovlina Borgohain, Nishant Dev, Vasile Cebotari, Marine Camara, Sachin Siwach, Munarbek Seiitbek Uul", "status": "1", "img_rpt": "0", "google": "1", "standout": "0", "edapps": "0", "pulse": "0", "no_index": "0", "feed": "0", "fixture": null, "slug": "boxing-world-qualifiers-amit-panghal-clinches-fifth-paris-olympic-quota-for-india-ld", "user_id": "0", "read_count": "0", "ians_date": null, "ians_time": null, "server_time": null, "trash": "0", "view_count": "1058", "page_break": "0", "instant_articles": "1", "auto_link": "0", "created": "2024-06-02 14:58:04", "updated": "2024-06-02 14:58:04", "img_from": "Image Source: IANS", "img_source": null, "schedule_publish": null, "news_keywords": "Boxing World Qualifiers, Amit Panghal, Paris Olympic, Commonwealth Games, Liu Chuang, Asian Games, Nikhat Zareen, Tokyo Olympics, Lovlina Borgohain, Nishant Dev, Vasile Cebotari, Marine Camara, Sachin Siwach, Munarbek Seiitbek Uul", "livescore_text": null, "livescore_link": null, "btn_text": null, "resend_feed": "1", "google_feed": "1", "read_more": "0", "posted_by": "23", "jio_date": "2024-06-02 14:58:04", "scheduled": "0", "news_now": "0", "breaking_news": "0", "google_date": null, "featured": "0", "sports_name": "others", "cnmid": "911106", "link": "https:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/sports-news\/boxing-world-qualifiers-amit-panghal-clinches-fifth-paris-olympic-quota-for-india-ld-15683" }
