The task, however, is easier said than done. All three of them have tough opponents standing in their path to the final. Deepak (51kg) has in his way two-time World Championships medallist Bilala Bennama.

Hussamuddin (57kg), on the other hand, will go up against Cuba’s Saidel Horta, who knocked out Worlds and Asian Championships silver medallist, top seed Serik Temirzhanov of Kazakhstan in the quarter-finals.
