Nitu beat Lutsaikhan Altantsetseg of Mongolia 5-0, and later Saweety Boora beat Wang Lina to become India's first light heavyweight world champion.

Lutsaikhan knew she had to connect far more in the last round, but her aggression left openings in her defence - which allowed Nitu to connect multiple times. I had to be aggressive from the first round to get points. Round 2 started with Lutsaikhan on the front foot, needing to land a few punches, but Nitu danced around her and kept her distance - till she went for a wild punch that she completely missed with. A flurry of wild swings from Lutsaikhan were easily evaded by a bouncing Nitu before the Indian connected with a couple of right arm jabs and two solid left handed hooks. She had Saweety on the floor twice in the opening minute, the Indian losing energy as Wang went on the offensive. The final flurry seemed to have swayed the judges and Saweety took the first round 3-2.

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — After three years of injuries, Mike Moustakas needed to try something new to get his career back on track.

"I was able to come into camp healthy and was able to play some good baseball and had a lot of fun doing it." Moustakas, a three-time All-Star, spent the beginning of his career with the Royals, where he helped them end their World Series drought in 2015. They signed him to a minor league deal with no guarantee that he would make the major league team. They found that the sport easily mimicked baseball — throwing punches replicated his hitting and throwing motion, while moving his feet in the ring translated to the footwork that's required of a first and third baseman. That training, as well as a regimented program with former major leaguer Marlon Byrd, had him in top shape when the Rockies came calling in March. Suddenly a free agent, Moustakas knew he had his work cut out for him if he was going to make it back on a major league field.

In the last world championships it was not that tough to cut weight. In the last round, I tried to attack as much as possible." The final round was a tight, nervous affair with multiple clinches and each boxer trading hooks to the body. "This was a tougher win [than the last Worlds]. It appeared to be a very tight round but the judges surprisingly awarded the round to Nikhat 5-0.

With boxers from these countries facing hostility in Europe over the Ukraine invasion, they want to qualify for the Paris Olympics via the Hangzhou Games.

IBA needs to try to make an agreement with the IOC that will be the best for boxers. Days before the world meet started in New Delhi, IBA had declared it would be a qualifier for the Olymipcs, adding to the confusion over qualifying for 2024 Paris. The Olympic Council of Asia has offered non-members Russia and Belarus the opportunity to compete in Asia, including the Asian Games, for qualify for Paris. As per the IOC qualification process, the first qualifying event for Russia and Belarus boxers will be the European Games being held in Kraków and Małopolska, Poland from June 21. With IOC stripping the New Delhi women’s world championships of the status as an Olympic qualifier, IBA has warned its technical officials that officiating in any IOC-organised qualifier would lead to possible sanctions under IBA’s technical and competition rules. The international federations and IOC are exploring the possibility of creating a qualification pathway for them through tournaments in Asia.
