\"NupurLiverpool:<\/strong> World Boxing Cup Astana gold medallist Nupur continued her fine form to confirm India\u2019s first medal at the World Boxing Championships in Liverpool on Wednesday with a 4:1 win over Uzbekistan\u2019s Oltinoy Sotimboeva in the women\u2019s 80+kg quarterfinals.<\/p>\n

In a tactical bout that saw both boxers receive a point penalty for excessive holding, Nupur started strong in the opening round but saw her opponent, a former World Youth silver medallist and bronze medallist in Astana, close the gap in the second.<\/p>\n

However, the Indian stepped up her attack in the third and final round and also kept her opponent at bay to reach the semifinals.<\/p>\n

Earlier on Tuesday night, three Indian boxers booked their quarterfinal berths to get within a win of assuring a medal.<\/p>\n

Meenakshi (women\u2019s 48kg) hammered China\u2019s Wang Qiuping 5:0, Jadumani Singh Mandengbam (men\u2019s 50kg) defeated England\u2019s Reece Readshaw 5:0, while Abhinash Jamwal (men\u2019s 65kg) thrashed Dominican Republic\u2019s Piter Ynoa Fernando de Jesus.<\/p>\n

Jugnoo (men\u2019s 85kg) was the only Indian boxer to suffer a loss on Tuesday night as he went down 0:5 against Scotland\u2019s Robert William McNulty in the pre-quarterfinals.<\/p>\n

India has fielded a 20-member contingent at the inaugural World Championships being held under the aegis of World Boxing \u2013 a recently formed international governing body \u2013 and is hoping for a good showing in both men\u2019s and women\u2019s events.<\/p>\n

Four more Indian boxers will have a chance to assure a medal later in the day with two-time world champion Nikhat Zareen (women\u2019s 51kg), Jaismine Lamboria (women\u2019s 57kg), Pooja Rani (women\u2019s 80kg), and Jamwal (men\u2019s 65kg) set to take the ring in their respective quarterfinals.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
