Former World Championships bronze-medallist Vikas Krishan (75kg) was the lone Indian to make the final while three others settled for bronze medals after losing hard-fought semifinal contests in the Asian Boxing Championships here on Friday.

Vikas defeated Iraq’s Waheed Abdulridha 3-0 to set up a clash with Uzbekistan’s Bektemir Melikuziev in the final on Saturday.

However, Satish Kumar (+91kg), L. Devendro (49kg) and defending champion Shiva Thapa (56kg) lost their respective semifinals and settled for bronze medals.
