2018 CWG silver medallist Manish Kaushik (63kg) made his AIBA World Boxing Championships debut with a convincing 5-0 win over Kyrgyzstan's Argentina Ullu Kadyrbek in Ekaterinburg, Russia today.

Manish’s opponent began on an aggressive note and caused him some initial problems. In the second round, the Indian pugilist made a strong come back and defended brilliantly relying on counter-punches and some stark footwork. His swift footwork never let his opponent settle throughout the bout. Manish took full advantage of Argen’s tired legs in the third round and landed some clear punches to walk home with a unanimous decision.
