Haryana’s Mohit upset the more fancied Akash Sai, a bronze medallist at the Sven Lange Memorial boxing tournament in Germany in December, with a 3-2 split verdict in the 66kg class quarterfinals of the Khelo India School Games at the Indira Gandhi Indoor Stadium here this evening.
On a day of upsets, Mohit victory over the international caught the attention. Akash Sai trains with Army Boys Company in Pune currently and is representing Maharashtra. It was a match between equals and the scoreline proved that.
Haryana’s Raj Sahiba predictably breezed past Goa’s Jessica Karra and will face Punjab’s Tanishbir Kaur in what is set to be an interesting bout tomorrow.
