The win was awarded to Zaurov via judges’ decision.

Taking on Paul Angalla, their second Ugandan opponent for the day, Aditya Bhosale was up next for Team India in the men’s under-61.2kg class.

The second round saw Bhosale taking his opponent down to the canvas, followed by a barrage of strikes to end the bout in a win. Bhosale will now face Germany’s Rasul Davletmuzaev in the next round.

Up next for Bhosale was Rasul Davletmuzaev, the second-seeded in the weight class. After a dominating start from the German, Bhosale bounced back with strikes and was able to land three jabs on Davletmuzaev in the second. However, the German was able to edge out in the favour of the judges due to his dominance early in the fight.
