Indian boxer Sachin Siwach (54kg) made a brilliant start to his campaign at the World Boxing Championships with a comfortable win over Moldova’s Sergei Novak here on Monday.
Former world youth champion Sachin is participating in the senior world championship for the first time. He made it to the pre-quarterfinals of the ‘Bentham Weight’ with a 5-0 unanimous decision win.
Sachin adopted an aggressive attitude as soon as the match started and rained punches on his opponent. The 23-year-old Indian boxer used his height advantage and easily took the first round.
Even in the second round, Sachin showed no mercy to Novak and threw punches. Meanwhile, his defense was also strong and he easily defended himself from his opponent’s attack.
Despite winning the first two rounds, Sachin showed no signs of laxity in the third and final round as well. The Moldovan boxer had no answer for his uppercut. Two other Indian boxers, Govind Sahni (48kg) and Naveen (92kg), will also enter the ring on Monday.
