New Delhi: Indian boxers have fetched a creditable haul of one silver and three bronze medals at the Military World Games in Mungyeong, South Korea.
In the final, Dheeraj fought valiantly even though he sustained a bruise on his hand in the opening minute of the bout. Ultimately, Abdelli prevailed by a 3-0 verdict.
Dheeraj who defeated boxers from Tanzania, Cameroon, Germany and Kazakhstan en-route to the final of the lightweight category said that he was disappointed to miss out on a certain gold medal.
"I was in really good rhythm all through the competition.
In the first three rounds, I managed unanimous victories and they gave me a lot of confidence. Even today, I was very confident of coming out on top against the Algerian however the hand injury that I sustained hampered my approach," said the boxer who is backed by the JSW Sports.
