India`s fast-rising boxer Deepak Bhoria fashioned a stellar comeback to stun Tokyo Olympic bronze medallist Saken Bibossinov of Kazakhstan and advance to the 51kg pre-quarterfinals of the World Championships on Sunday. Deepak, who was trailing by a split verdict in the opening two rounds, put up a fine display in the last three minutes to emerge winner after a bout review.

The Indian eventually won 5-2 against the 2021 World Champion Bibossinov to reach the pre-quarterfinals. Meanwhile, the two-time Commonwealth medallist Mohammed Hussamuddin (57kg) also registered a facile 5-0 victory over Russia`s Eduard Savvin to advance to the quarterfinals.
