Youth World Boxing Championships: Vishwanath Suresh kickstarts India's campaign with win

LA NUCIA: The reigning Asian youth champion Vishwanath Suresh opened India's campaign on a winning note at the IBA Youth Men's and Women's World Boxing Championships 2022 after clinching a thrilling opening-round match against Ireland's Patsy Joyce Thady by a split 3-2 decision in La Nucia, Spain on Tuesday.

The 17-year-old Chennai boxer shifted gears impressively in the deciding three minutes after the intensely fought first two rounds of men's 48kg bout which saw equal resistance from both ends. Vishwanath was among the seven Indians to secure gold medals at the ASBC Asian Youth Boxing Championships, held in Jordan earlier this year. Agencies
