Narender
defeated
Sierra
Leone’s
Mohamed
Kendeh
in
the
round-of-32
match.
Both
the
boxers
started
the
game
with
cautious
approach
and
maintained
the
distance
during
the
early
part
of
+92kg
bout.
However,
the
26-year-old
Indian
hit
some
timely
punches
and
took
charge
of
the
game.
Having
tilted
the
momentum
to
his
side,
Narender
started
the
final
round
aggressively
and
landed
some
heavy
blows
which
unsettled
the
opponent
as
the
referees
had
to
stop
the
contest
and
declare
Narender
winner.
Later
in
the
night,
Rohit
Mor
(57kg)
and

Sangwan
(67kg)

strong
competition
in
presence
of
650
top

from
more
than
100
countries
playing

While
Rohit,
who
hails
from
Delhi,
will
take
on
Alen
Rahmic
of
Bosnia
and
Herzegovina
in
the
featherweight
category,
Akash
will
square
off
against

In
the

played
late
on

impressive
3-2
