Hitesh and Sachin Siwach led India’s charge with dominant performances, securing unanimous decision victories in their opening preliminary bouts at the World Boxing Cup here on Monday.
Hitesh, who won gold at the Brazil leg of World Boxing Cup earlier this year, outclassed Kan Chia-Wei of Chinese Taipei 5-0 in the light middleweight division at the Beeline Arena.
Sachin, a bronze winner in Brazil, was equally convincing in his 5-0 win over Canada’s Al-Ahmadieh Keoma-Ali in the lightweight category.
India had claimed six medals at the previous leg.
