World boxing championships | Bhoria, Hussamuddin, and Nishant walk away with bronze medals

The Indian challenge at the World boxing championships came to an end with Deepak Bhoria (51kg), Mohammad Hussamuddin (57kg) and Nishant Dev (71kg) settling for bronze medals in Tashkent on Friday.

While Bhoria and Nishant went down fighting in the semifinals, Hussamuddin withdrew before his bout due to a knee injury. Nevertheless, they ensured India’s best-ever medal count in the men’s event.

Bhoria, a ninth-place finisher in the 2021 edition, lost 4-3 to fourth-seeded two-time Worlds bronze medallist and reigning European champion Billal Bennama in a neck-and-neck fight.
