Boxing World Qualifiers: Amit, Jaismine Bag Paris Olympic Tickets (Ld)
Boxing World Qualifiers: 2022 Commonwealth Games gold medallist Amit Panghal (51kg) and Jaismine Lamboria (women’s 57 kg) clinched India’s fifth and sixth Paris Olympic quotas respectively by winning their quarterfinal bouts in the Boxing World Qualifiers in Bangkok, Thailand, on Sunday.
Panghal relied on his quick-fire movement and combination of jabs and uppercuts to overcome a slow start and earn a unanimous 5:0 verdict against China’s Liu Chuang in the 51kg quarterfinals while Jaismine, who got a chance to participate in the 57kg category as Boxing Federation of India had to surrender the quota won by Parveen Hooda, defeated Mali’s Marine Camara by an identical score line.
India had sent a 10-member contingent to Bankok which included seven men and three women boxers. Nishant Dev became the first Indian male boxer to earn qualification in 71kg category when he defeated Moldova’s Vasile Cebotari in the quarterfinals on Friday.
