Gaurav Saini (70kg) advanced to the final while three other Indian boxers entered the last-four stage after contrasting victories in the Asian Junior Championships in Dubai. Saini defeated Kyrgyzstan’s Zakirov Mukhammadaziz 4-1 to enter the summit clash. Entering the semifinals were Ashis (54kg), Anshul (57kg) and Bharat Joon ( 81kg).

Ashis outpunched Tajikistan’s Rahmanov Jafar 5-0, while Anshul pummelled UAE’s Mansoor Khaled in his quarterfinal bout which was stopped in the first round itself due to the Indian’s dominance. Joon eked out a 3-2 triumph over Uzbekistan’s Kenesbaev Aynazar.

However, it was curtains for Krish Pal (46kg) and Preet Malik (63kg). Pal was no match for Uzbekistan’s Bakhtiyor Yakhshiboev, who outclassed him by the second round forcing the referee to stop the contest. Malik went down 2-3 to Kyrgyzstan’s Eldar Esembaev. — PTI

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
