Gaurav Solanki and Manish Kaushik bagged a gold each as Indian boxers finished with six medals at the 36th Feliks Stamm International boxing tournament in Warsaw.

Besides the two golds, Indians clinched a silver and three bronze to wrap off their campaign on a high.

The 22-year-old Solanki (52kg) outpunched England’s William Cawley 5-0. He showed glimpses of the form that brought him golds at the Commonwealth Games and the Chemistry Cup last year.

Kaushik (60kg), winner of the India Open gold and Commonwealth Games silver, beat Morocco’s Mohamed Hamout 4-1.

Mohammed Hussamuddin (56kg), who started the 2019 season with a silver at the Gee Bee Boxing tournament, had to be content with yet another second-place finish following a 4-1 defeat to Russia’s Mukhammad Shekhov.

In 69kg, 2014 Commonwealth Games silver medallist and Arjuna awardee Mandeep Jangra lost 5-0 to Russia’s Vadim Musaev, while in the 91kg, Sanjeet lost to David Nyika of New Zealand by an identical score.

In the 64kg, Ankit Khatana gave his all but was edged 3-2 by Damian Durkacz of Poland.
