India’s Amit Panghal secured the ticket for Paris 2024 Olympics after defeating Liu Chuang of China in an unanimous 5-0 decision in the men’s 51kg category at the second World Boxing Qualifiers in Bangkok on Sunday.
The 28-year-old is the second Indian male boxer to qualify for the 2024 Olympics after Nishant Dev booked his spot after beating Moldova’s Vasile Cebotari 5-0 in the men’s 71kg event.
Amit will join Nikhat Zareen (women’s 50kg), Preeti Pawar (women’s 54kg) and Tokyo Olympics bronze medallist Lovlina Borgohain (women’s 75kg), who clinched the Paris spot via Asian Games 2022 wins.
