Asian junior boxing

Three Indian boxers advanced to the finals of the Asian junior championships after notching up comprehensive victories in their respective semi-final matches in Dubai.

While Rohit Chamoli (48kg) and Bharat Joon (+81kg) made the junior boys finals, Muskan (46kg) entered the girls summit showdowns, on Tuesday night.

Joon defeated Kyrgyzstan's Emir-Khan Razhapov 5-0 and Chamoli got the better of Kazakhstan's Aidar Kadyrkhan by a similar scoreline.

Muskan sailed past Kazakhstan's Yelyanur Turganova, pulling off an unanimous victory.

However, Supriya Rawat (66kg) lost to Sanowar Bozorboeva 1-4 and Aarzoo (54kg) also endured a close loss to Uzbekistan's Guldana Tileuergen, going down 2-3.

Devika Ghorpade (50kg) was defeated 0-5 by Uzbekistan's Shaina Nematovain in another girls semi-final.

Among boys, Ankush (66kg) was beaten 0-5 by Uzbekistan's Fazliddin Erkinboev in his last-four bout.

All four of them ended with bronze medals.

India's assured medal tally stood at over 20 on the day of the draws itself as many countries either skipped or fielded smaller squads due to the COVID-19 travel restrictions.

The gold medallists in the youth category will receive prize money of US$6,000 while silver and bronze medallists will claim US$3,000 and US$1,500 respectively.

The junior champions will be awarded with US$4,000 for gold and US$2,000 and 1,000 for silver and bronze medallists respectively.
