Earlier, Nitu Ganghas and Mohammad Hussamuddin also assured India atleast a bronze medal each by winning their respective quarterfinal bouts.

India's boxing powerhouse Nitu was ruthless in forcing her opponent from Northern Ireland Nicole Clyde to surrender in their women's 48 kg division clash with a few seconds left in the final round at the National Exhibition Centre on Wednesday.

The Indian boxer dominated both rounds before the Irish coaches threw in the towel. Nitu was announced as the winner via ABD (abandon), which is a rare feat in the boxing ring.

Meanwhile, experienced Indian boxer Mohammad Hussamuddin overwhelmed Tryagain Ndevelo of Namibia to register a 4-1 win in a men’s 57 kg quarter-final match via split decision.

Olympic bronze medalist Lovlina Borgohain, on the other hand, lost to Rosie Eccles of Wales 2-3 in the quarter-finals of the women’s boxing light middleweight 70kg category to mark an end to her campaign in Birmingham.
