Boxer Sumit forced to retire after injury at Asian Games
NAGOYA: (Sep 24) Indian boxer Sumit suffered a heartbreak as he was forced to concede his men’s 70kg pre-quarterfinal bout against Iraq’s Al Sarray Ali Qasim Hamdan following an injury at the Asian Games here on Thursday.
The 23-year-old from Haryana was leading after the first two rounds but seemed to suffer a knee injury after coping a punch and falling awkwardly in the third round and was unable to continue. The referee stopped the contest, handing the win to his opponent.
Sumit had beaten Thailand’s Bunjong Sinsiri 5-0 in his opening bout.
