Nishant Dev (71kg) became the first Indian male pugilist to secure a Paris Games quota when he reached the semi-finals of the Boxing Olympic qualifiers on Friday.
The world championships bronze medallist, who had narrowly missed on an Olympic berth in the previous qualifiers, earned the quota after defeating Vasile Cebotari of Moldova 5-0 in the quarter-final which was a battle of the southpaws.
