Olympic-bound world silver-medallist Amit Panghal (52kg) was assured of at least a bronze at the Governor’s Cup in St Petersburg, Russia after he advanced to the semi-finals but five other Indian boxers bowed out following opening round losses.
The Haryana-boxer, who is also the reigning Asian Games champion, prevailed 5-0 against local favourite Tamir Galanov to make the last-four stage. However, Sumit Sangwan (81kg), Mohammed Hussamuddin (57kg), Naman Tanwar (91kg), the Olympic-bound Ashish Kumar (75kg) and Vinod Tanwar (49kg) made early exits.
