<p>The 31-year-old, who trains under former Olympic silver medallist Roy Jones Jr and has faced only one defeat in his professional career so far, had the upper hand in most rounds.</p>
<p>He delivered powerful punches from the outset, maintaining his stamina throughout the 10 rounds, while the British boxer struggled to keep pace. Conor did try to make a comeback, but Jangra continued to maintain the upper hand in most rounds. &ldquo;This is one of the biggest victories of my career. I have worked hard for years to achieve this. It is a matter of pride for me that I could bring glory to the country,&rdquo; he said.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The Haryana boxer, who made his professional boxing debut in 2021, hopes the title will inspire more Indian pugilists to turn professional. &ldquo;I think this title will open the way for other boxers of the country and they will also decide to make a career in professional boxing. Our boxers are good. If they get good promoters and&nbsp;<br />managers, they can also become world champions,&rdquo; Jangra added.&nbsp;</p>
