New Delhi, Sep 4 (PTI) Asian silver medallist T Nano Singh lifted the spirit of the Indian camp by scoring a dominating 21-6 win over Mamishzade Elvin of Azerbaijan in the the first round of the 48kg event of the World Boxing championship in Milan, Italy.
It was a much needed win for India to revive its campaign as four of country's boxers have already bit the dust in the first round, most disappointing being the defeat of Olympian Akhil Kumar last night.
Jai Bhagwan is the only other boxer to have booked a second round berth.
Asian champion Suranjoy Singh (51kg), Jitender Kumar (54kg) and Manoj Kumar (64kg) are the pugilists who lost their opening round bouts.
However the dismal show by his compatriots had no effect on Nanao and he went on to score a comfortable victory.
