Ashish Chaudhary, a Tokyo Olympian, has advanced to the pre-quarterfinals at the Men’s World Boxing Championships in Belgrade, Serbia, after winning a split decision against Meysam Gheshlaghi of Iran. The 28-year-old from Himachal Pradesh displayed impressive attacking skills, landing powerful jabs in the first round to keep his opponent at bay. With smart movement and technical ability, Ashish secured a hard-fought 4-1 victory against the former Asian Championships silver medalist.
However, Ashish’s journey at the World Championships won’t be easy, as he now faces a tough challenge from two-time Olympic champion Arlen Lopez of Cuba in the round of 16. But with his recent performance, Ashish has proven himself to be a strong contender, and the match against Lopez promises to be an exciting one.
In the meantime, debutant Harsh Choudhary was knocked out of the competition after suffering a 0-5 unanimous decision loss against Billy McAllister of Australia in the 86kg category. While it was a disappointing result for Harsh, he still has a long way to go in his boxing career and will undoubtedly learn from this experience.
On Wednesday, Nishant Dev will take on the 2021 World Championships bronze medalist Sarkhan Alliyev of Azerbaijan in his first match of the tournament. With the participation of 538 boxers, including several Olympic medalists, from 107 countries, the Men’s World Boxing Championships promise to be an intense and thrilling event.
Overall, Ashish Chaudhary’s impressive win at the Men’s World Boxing Championships is a testament to his hard work and dedication to the sport. As he prepares to face Arlen Lopez in the next round, fans of the sport eagerly await to see if Ashish can continue his winning streak and make his mark on the international boxing stage.
