Indian boxer Akash faced defeat against Kazakhstan’s Makhmud Sabirkhan in the 54 kg category. The 21-year-old Aakash lost 0-5 in the competition to end India’s campaign. Currently, Akash Kumar has become only the seventh Indian male boxer to win a medal. He has also claimed prize money of $25,000.
Despite the loss, Akash from Haryana, who hails from Bhiwani, is proud of his stellar performance in his first senior international competition. Akash had defeated former Olympic silver medalist Yoel Finol Rivas of Venezuela in the quarterfinals. Indian boxer Akash lost his mother to a lung infection in September and participated in the national championships unaware of the incident. His father died more than a decade ago after he started boxing. At present, Akash has increased the honor of all Indians by winning a bronze medal.
