Akash overpowers Sachin Siwach; Sachin goes down fighting
VIJAYNAGAR: Twenty-year-old Lakshya shocked Olympian Sumit Sangwan in an 86 kg semifinal match of the National boxing championships at the Inspire Institute of Sports (IIS) here on Monday.
Taller than the lanky Sumit, Lakshay recorded a 4-1 win to be among the 11 Services men who reached the finals.
Even as Sumit relied on his powerful combinations, Jaipur boy Lakshay —a two-time Khelo India champion and a Youth National champion who joined Army in February 2020—used his left jabs effectively from a long range. His counter punches, including a beautiful right hook, and defence fetched him a memorable victory.
