Sachin Wins Gold in AIBA Championship

Sachin Singh became the third Indian boxer ever to bag gold at the AIBA Youth World Championships.

In the 49 kg weight class, Sachin recorded a stunning unanimous victory over Cuban national champion Jorge Grinan in the summit clash at St Peterburg, Russia.

Sachin outpunched his more fancied rival 5-0 to record a rare Indian triumph over a Cuban boxer. India thus finished the tournament with one gold and a bronze, a marked improvement from the solitary bronze won in the 2014 edition.

Naman Tanwar in the 91 kg had settled for a bronze after losing in the semifinal.
