\"AkashNew Delhi<\/strong>: Indian boxer Akash Kumar\u2019s sensational run at the 2021 AIBA Men\u2019s World Boxing Championships ended with a bronze medal after he suffered a heartbreaking loss in the semi-final in Belgrade, Serbia on Thursday. <\/p>\n

Akash endured a 5-0 loss against Kazakhstan\u2019s Makhmud Sabyrkhan in the 54kg category.<\/p>\n

It was India\u2019s seventh medal at the world\u2019s one of the biggest boxing events as Akash joined the elite list of boxers that includes Amit Panghal (silver in 2019), Vijender Singh (bronze in 2009), Vikas Krishan (bronze in 2011), Shiva Thapa (bronze in 2015), Gaurav Bidhuri (bronze in 2017) and Manish Kaushik (bronze in 2019), who have won medals for the country at the Men\u2019s World Championships in the past.<\/p>\n

Playing in his debut World Championships, Akash started the Last-4 bout aggressively as the first round saw both the boxers trading heavy blows. However, the Kazakh boxer looked in better position with relentless punches which put the Indian on the backfoot at the end of a pulsating opening round.<\/p>\n

The 20-year-old Akash, who was playing his maiden international tournament at elite level, however, tried making a comeback in the second round and showcased some brilliant skills to overcome the fight that Sabyrkhan put up.<\/p>\n

The boxer from Bhiwani gave it his all but somehow fell short when it came to matching up with the speed and accuracy as the southpaw Sabyrkhan capitalised onto the momentum in the final round to complete victory by unanimous decision.<\/p>\n

With this loss, Indian challenge came to an end at the 21st edition of the tournament which witnessed participation of 650 top boxers from more than 100 countries from across the world.<\/p>\n

The gold medallists of each category will receive $100,000 while silver and bronze medallists will be given $50,000 and $25,000 respectively. Alongside an enormous prize pool of $2.6 million, AIBA will also award the winners with beautifully designed medals, made of solid gold and silver respectively, and belts to commemorate their accomplishments.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
