Deepak Bhoria and Nishant Dev

World championship bronze medallist Deepak Bhoria and Nishant Dev recorded emphatic wins in their respective boxing events here on Monday.


Deepak out-punched Malaysia’s Muhammad Abdul Qaiyum Bin Ariffin 5-0 to advance to round of 16 in the men’s 51kg event.


Nishant notched up a win over Nepal’s Dipesh Lama by a similar margin in the men’s 71kg opening round.

However, Arundhati Choudhary bowed out in the opening round of the women’s 66kg event. The young Indian pugilist was no match to world champion Yang Liu of China, who jabbed and hooked her way to a dominant 5-0 win.

Deepak, who had pipped last year’s gold medallist Amit Panghal to make the squad, was involved in an energy-sapping bout.

He used his powerful punches, lunging forward to jab his opponent who was equally fast. Deepak wore down the Malaysian with body shots while gliding across the ring to defend.
