Boxing World Qualifiers: Nishant Seals Paris Olympic Quota; Panghal, Sachin Siwach Stay In Hunt (2nd Ld)
Boxing World Qualifiers: Nishant Dev became the fourth Indian and first male boxer to qualify for the 2024 Paris Olympics after he convincingly got the better of Moldova’s Vasile Cebotari 5:0 to reach the semifinals of the 71kg category at the Boxing World Qualifiers at Bangkok, Thailand, on Friday. While Nishant Dev secured his berth, two other boxers, Sachin Siwach and Amit Panghal, are a win away from an Olympic quota.
Siwach defeated France's Samuel Kistohurry 4-1 in the 57kg quarterfinals while 2022 Commonwealth Games gold medallist Panghal packed off Inkyu Kim of South Korea 5:0 to reach the Round of 8 in the 51kg weight category and kept their qualifying hopes alive.
India has already secured three quotas for the Paris Games with Nikhat Zareen (women’s 50kg), Preeti (54kg), and Tokyo Olympics bronze medallist Lovlina Borgohain (75kg) confirming their berths by winning medals at the 2022 Asian Games and had sent 10 boxers to Thailand to add to the list.
