Jitender in second round

NEW DELHI: Jitender Kumar registered his first win since going up a division to bantam weight and entered the second round of a training-cum-competition boxing event in Almaty, Kazakhstan, on Monday.

The 21-year-old, whose first attempt at competing in the bantam weight category ended in a first round exit at the A.K. Mishra International in March, beat Kazakh boxer Judayder Genov 14-10.

“I am thrilled after winning this bout. I didn’t have a very good start in bantam weight, but this win has given me a lot of confidence,” Jitender told PTI from Almaty.

The Haryana boxer is part of a 10-member Indian team competing in the event. The others are reigning youth world champion T. Nanao Singh (48 kg), former cadet world champion Vipin Kumar (51 kg), Chhote Lal Yadav (57 kg), Rakesh Kalaskar (60 kg), Balwinder Singh (64 kg), Jagat (75 kg), Dinesh Kumar (81 kg), Guru Lal (91kg) and Ram Singh (+91kg). — PTI
