The 2019 worlds silver medallist Panghal (51kg) pulled off a dominating 5-0 triumph over Kazakhstan’s Sanzhar Tashkenbay in the men’s flyweight final. Sachin (57kg), a world youth champion, changed the colour of his medal from the last edition from bronze to gold as he out-punched Uzbekistan’s Shakhzod Muzafarov by a 5-0 verdict. However, two-time world champion Zareen (50kg), Arundhati Choudhary (66kg), Barun Singh Shagolshem (48kg) and Rajat (67kg) settled for silver medals after going down in their respective bouts.

In a commanding performance, Panghal landed powerful punches and Tashkenbay simply had no answers. Panghal had clinched the bronze medal in 2017 while winning back-to-back titles in 2018 and 2019. However despite his dominant run here, the Armyman from Haryana, will not be competing at the Paris Olympic qualifiers later this month.
