Olympic-bound Indian boxer Manish Kaushik (63kg) struck Gold in his first competitive outing in a year even as five others signed off with Silver medals in the 35th Boxam International Tournament in Castellon.
Manish defeated Denmark’s Nikolai Terteryan in a split decision.
However, Mohammed Hussamuddin (57kg) and Vikas Krishan (69kg) ended with Silver medals among men.
Hussamuddin gave a walkover to Jean Paul Rivera of Puerto Rico, which was struck by a positive Covid-19 case. The reasons for the Indian’s pullout were not immediately not known.
Vikas Krishan (69kg), however, lost a gruelling final to Youba Sissokho, a bout in which the Indian was left with a cut above his right eye.
Among women, Simranjit Kaur (60kg), Pooja Rani (75kg) and Jasmine (57kg) ended with Silver medals among women.
The Indian women boxers thus ended their campaign with three Silver and one Bronze medal. Six-time world champion M C Mary Kom (51kg) had ended with a Bronze after a semifinal loss.
Debutant Jasmine (57kg) also ended with a Silver after going down to European champion Irma Testa of Italy.
