India boxer Amit Panghal believes his silver medal-winning experience at the recent Asian Championships in the UAE has left him wiser ahead of the Tokyo Olympics (July 23 to August 8).

Panghal, a World Championships silver medallist, lost to reigning Olympic and world champion, Shakhobidin Zoirov of Uzbekistan 3-2 via split decision in the 52kg final. Unhappy with the result, the Indian team registered a protest with the organisers but their appeal was not considered.
