Boxing World Qualifiers: Perfect Day For India As Siwach, Sanjeet, Jaismine Advance With Convincing Wins
The Indian National Champion: India’s Sachin Siwach (57kg), Sanjeet Kumar (92kg), Amit Panghal (51kg), and Jaismine (women’s 57kg) took another step towards Paris Olympic qualification as they registered convincing wins over their respective opponents to advance to the next round in Boxing World Qualifiers in Bangkok, Thailand, on Thursday.
Siwach started the proceedings for India with a clinical 5-0 win over Olympian Batuhan Ciftci of Turkey in the pre-quarterfinal round and Sanjeet then saw off the challenge from Luis Sanchez of Venezuela with an identical margin in the Round of 32.
As per the rules, in the men’s 57kg category only three boxers will make the cut for the Paris Olympics, Siwach therefore needs to win two more bouts to make the cut while Sanjeet, who got a bye in the Round of 64, will have a similar target as all four semifinalists will qualify in his weight category.
