With this WBC youth world super featherweight title under his belt, Lalrinsanga Tlau became the third Indian to hold this youth world title. This win will definitely give Lalrinsanga a significant bump in world rankings.

Former IBF world super featherweight champion Jose Pedraza also once held the WBC Youth World Super Featherweight title. So Lalrinsanga winning this title will also be a significant feat.

Last month, Larinsanga Tlau took on Prince Shrivastava at the Infinity Mall in Malad, Mumbai. The fight was action-packed and Lalrinsanga who was the favourite heading into this fight showed exactly why he is one of the best professional boxers in this weight class. Despite being shorter in height, Lalrinsanga closed the distance and walked down the much bigger man in Prince Srivastava.
