World Boxing C'ships: Sumit, Neeraj Register Contrasting Wins As India Continue Winning Momentum
World Boxing Cup Astana: Sumit Kundu (men’s 75kg) and Neeraj Phogat (women’s 65kg) registered contrasting victories to advance to the pre-quarterfinals of their respective weight categories as Indian boxers continued to impress at the World Boxing Championship in Liverpool, UK, on Friday.
Sumit was rarely in any trouble throughout the three rounds against Jordan’s Mohammad Alhussien in the men’s 75kg first round to win 5:0, while Neeraj had to dig deep into her reserves to outlast Finland’s Krista Kovalainen and eke out a 3:2 verdict.
India has fielded a 20-member strong contingent in the inaugural World Championships being held under the aegis of the World Boxing, a recently-formed international governing body for boxing, and is looking to continue building on its strong outings in the World Boxing Cup legs in Brazil and Kazakhstan.
