Strandja Memorial Boxing Tournament: Commonwealth Games gold medallist Amit Panghal and National champion Sachin entered the semifinals of the 75th Strandja Memorial Boxing Tournament in Sofia, Bulgaria on Thursday. Amit (51kg) continued his fine form to grab a 5-0 unanimous decision win over Aldarkhishig Battulga of Mongolia. In the 57kg category, Sachin got the better of Kapanadze Giorgi of Georgia.

Coming from a dominating win in his last match, Amit Panghal looked lethal. He controlled the bout right from the start giving his opponent little to no chance to make a comeback. The boxer from Haryana continued to build on the momentum and did not lose the grip of the game even for a second.
