| Dominant Sakshi wins gold at World Boxing Cup | | | ASTANA, July 6: Two-time youth world champion Sakshi bagged India's first gold medal at the second World Boxing Cup with a dominant performance in women's 54kg final here on Sunday. The 24-year-old was at her attacking best as she registered a unanimous verdict win against USA's Yosline Perez.
The Indian contingent has had a fruitful outing at the World Boxing Cup here and is assured of a total of 11 medals. India had bagged six medals in the first leg in Brazil, including a gold and a silver.
There were four Indian boxers in action in the first session and it was Sakshi who managed to stand atop of the podium with a stellar display that combined speed and combination punches.
Earlier, Meenakshi pushed hard for victory against local favourite Nazym Kyzaibay in the 48kg final but ended on the wrong side of a 3-2 verdict.
Jugnoo (men's 85kg) and Pooja Rani (women's 80kg) will also return home with silver medals after losing their respective finals.
Jugnoo went down 0-5 against Bekzad Nurdauletov of Kazakhstan while Pooja too lost by an identical margin to Australia's Eseta Flint.
