\"Neeraj\"Liverpool:<\/strong> Sumit Kundu (men\u2019s 75kg) and Neeraj Phogat (women\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n

Sumit was rarely in any trouble through-out the three rounds against Jordan\u2019s Mohammad Alhussien in the men\u2019s 75kg first round to win 5:0 while Neeraj had to dig deep into her reserves to outlast Finland\u2019s Krista Kovalainen and eke out a 3:2 verdict.<\/p>\n

India has fielded a 20-member strong contingent in the inaugural World Championships being held under the aegis of the World Boxing \u2013 a recently formed international governing body for boxing — and are looking to continue building on their strong outings in the World Boxing Cup legs in Brazil and Kazakhstan.<\/p>\n

Neeraj was first to take the rink on the second day of competition and was under pressure as the Finnish national champion, Kovalainen, mounted a strong comeback in the second round. But the Indian took the attack to her opponent in the third round and got four of the five judges to back her to win the bout and advance.<\/p>\n

Sumit then dominated all the three rounds against Alhussien to make it to the Round and 16.<\/p>\n

In the last night session, Sanamacha Chanu had defeated Denmark\u2019s Ditte Frostholm to start her women\u2019s 70kg campaign in style while World Boxing Cup Astana gold medallist Sakshi outclassed Viktoriia Shkeul of Ukraine in her women\u2019s 54kg opener.<\/p>\n

Sakshi was at her aggressive best against the Ukrainian and the referee had to stop contest (RSC) in the second round.<\/p>\n

Harsh Chaudhary (men\u2019s 90kg) was the only Indian boxer to face a reversal in the opening round as he went down against Poland\u2019s Adam Tutak.<\/p>\n

In the evening session on Friday, Narender (men\u2019s 90+kg) will face Martin McDonagh of Ireland while Jaismine will launch her women\u2019s 57kg campaign against Daria-Olha Hutarina of Ukraine.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
