India’s Mohammed Hussamuddin loses at World Olympic Boxing Qualifier

 Busto Arsizio: 2023 World Championship bronze medallist India’s Mohammed Hussamuddin goes down 0-4 against Ireland’s Jude Gallagher in the men’s 57kg round-of-32 match at the 1st World Olympic Boxing Qualifier.

Making a comeback after an injury Hussamuddin, who received a bye in the opening round, took some time to settle in which allowed his opponent Birmingham Commonwealth games gold medallist Jude to take the lead with his technical prowess. The youngster used his speed and agility to his advantage, pocketing the first round 5-0.

The Hyderabad-born boxer did try to cover the lost ground in round two but his comeback became even more difficult after he was deducted a point for dropping the head. The 22-year-old Jude just kept his calm in the third round and did not allow Hussamuddin to attack, eventually winning the bout.

India’s Nishant Dev (71kg) will be in action in the pre-quarterfinals on Sunday. IANS
