Sofia , February 22

India’s Narender eked out a split verdict win to advance to the quarterfinals of the Strandja Memorial international boxing tournament while the seasoned Shiva Thapa forfeited his second-round bout after coming down with a fever here today.

Unfortunately, India’s experienced campaigner Thapa couldn’t take the ring due to a fever and gave a walkover to his opponent Malik Hasanov of Azerbaijan in the pre-quarterfinals.

In the 60kg class, Varinder Singh lost 0-5 to Abdumurodov Dilsoh of Uzbekistan to bow out, while Sumit lost 1-4 to Rami Kiwan of Bulgaria in the pre-quarters.

Late on Tuesday, Sachin (54kg) beat Henrik Sahakyan of Armenia 4-1 to reach the quarters, while Akash (67kg) registered a comfortable 5-0 victory over Bulgarian Rosen Markov. Sahil (80kg) lost 0-5 to Serbia’s Vladimir Mironchikov.

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).
