CWG 2022: Boxers Nitu, Hussamuddin enter semifinals, medals assured

Commonwealth Games on Wednesday. Hussamuddin, the 28-year-old from Nizamabad, kept his calm to notch up a 4-1 win over Tryagain Morning of Namibia and join fellow Indian boxer Nitu in the last four.

The 21-year-old Nitu, a two-time youth gold medallist, was declared winner by ABD when her Northern Ireland's opponent Nicole Clyde threw in the towel in the third and final round of the quarter-final bout.

Last edition's bronze medallist Hussamuddin, on the other hand, had to work hard for his split division win against Ndevelo. Three Indian boxers -- Lovlina Borgohain, Nikhat Zareen and Ashish Kumar -- will compete in their quarterfinal bouts later in the day.
