Indian boxer Narender Berwal (+92kg) stormed into the pre-quarterfinals of the AIBA Men’s World Championships after out-classing Sierra Leone’s Mohamed Kendeh in a lop-sided second-round contest here on Thursday.

Dominating performance

Berwal thoroughly dominated his imposing rival, who just could not connect for most part of the bout and struggled with his movement as well. The Indian, making his debut at the big event, was the sharper of the two and did well not to come in the line of the heavy punches Kendeh could have thrown had he been more agile.
