Indian boxers Nishant Dev (71kg) and Sanjeet (92kg) made the quarter-finals following impressive victories but three others bowed out of the AIBA Men’s World Championships after losing their Last-16 stage bouts here on Monday.

Nishant defeated Mexico’s Marco Alvarez Verde 3-2 in a late night bout on Sunday to set up a clash with Russia’s Vadim Musaev. Sanjeet, a quarter-finalist from the previous edition, got the better of Georgia’s Giorgi Tchigladze 4-1 to enter the last eight stage for a second successive time.
He will face Italy’s Aziz Abbes Mouhiidine.
