India’s Brazil’s Fod Do Iguaku ended with 6 medals in the World Cup campaign. Indian boxers performed brilliantly in this tournament, including the gold medal won by Hitesh. India was participating for the first time in a top level international competition organized by World Boxing.

Hitesh won gold in this tournament and became the first Indian boxer to win gold in the World Boxing Cup. In fact, his rival Odel Kamara of England was injured and could not enter the ring for the 70kg category final on Saturday. Indian boxer Abhinash Jamwal also made it to the 65kg category finals, but despite giving a tough fight to local contender Yuri Reis, he had to be content with the silver medal.

Hitesh credited the good performance to the 10 -day preparation camp held in Brazil before the tournament, which helped him and the team a lot. Hitesh said that the camp helped me learn some strategic nuances which helped me a lot in the competition. The tournament gave us the highest level of experience and I am happy that I could win the gold medal.
