India boxer Dev enters pre-quarters

Nishant Dev

World Championships bronze-medallist Nishant Dev out-punched Georgia’s Madiev Eskerkhan to enter the men’s 71kg category pre-quarterfinals of the first World Olympic Boxing Qualifiers here.


The Indian won by a unanimous 5-0 margin on Thursday night. Tokyo Olympics quarter-finalist Eskerkhan looked clueless against the Indian’s attack. He tried his best to recover in the second round but Nishant denied him any chance of a comeback.
