National boxing championships

Heavy favorites Shiva Thapa and Mohammad Hussamuddin powered their way to remarkable victories and bagged gold medals while defending champions Services Sports Control Board (SSCB) topped the rankings with 10 medals at the 6th Elite Men's National Boxing Championships, here on Friday.

The record six time Asian medalist Shiva of Assam had a pretty comfortable day at the office as he defeated the 2021 World Youth Championships bronze medalist Ankit Narwal of Railways Sports Promotion Board (RSPB) to win by unanimous decision in the 63.5kg final.
