Panghal notched a hard-fought 5-0 win over China's Chuang Liu for a ticket to his second Olympic Games.

Indian boxer Amit Panghal qualifies for Paris Olympics

Amit Panghal's comeback to the Indian team culminated in an Olympic quota as he qualified for the Paris Games with a quarterfinal win in the 2nd World Qualification Tournament on Sunday.

<h2>Panghal notched a hard-fought 5-0 win over China's Chuang Liu for a ticket to his second Olympic Games.</h2>

Amit Panghal's comeback to the Indian team culminated in an Olympic quota as the world championships silver medallist boxer qualified for the Paris Games with a quarterfinal win in the 2nd World Qualification Tournament on Sunday.
Panghal, India's lone male world championship silver medallist, notched a hard-fought 5-0 win over China's Chuang Liu for a ticket to his second Olympic Games.
He thus joins the quartet of Nishant Dev (71kg), Nikhat Zareen (50kg), Preeti Pawar (54kg) and Lovlina Borgohain (75kg). All of them have booked Olympic berths.
Panghal had only one shot at making the Paris Olympics and the 2018 Asian Games champion made the most of his opportunity.
The going has been tough for Panghal as he lost his place in the national team on the basis of BFI's evaluation system to world championship bronze medallist Deepak Bhoria, who competed at the earlier two qualifying events.
Since the Tokyo Olympics, the only big-ticket event that the Haryana boxer has competed in was the Commonwealth Games in 2022, where he won the gold medal.
He also emerged victorious at the prestigious Strandja Memorial tournament earlier this year.
The quarterfinal bout began on a rather sedate note with both boxers trying to assess each other. One minute into the bout, Liu went after Panghal. At an height disadvantage, the Indian struggled to find his range, and he did mange to land a couple of scoring shorts but didn't engage much.
Trailing 1-4, Panghal, a three-time Asian Championship medallist, changed his strategy. He went on the offensive, beginning the second round on a positive note.
The Chinese boxer retaliated by launching some counterattacking blows but Panghal continued with his punches and ended the round on a high, forcing all five judges to rule in his favour.
In the last three minutes, Liu changed his game and moved closer to Panghal. It was an energy sapping affair as both fighters traded punches, going hammer and tongs at each other. In the end, the former world number one prevailed.
Later in the day, Jaismine Lamboria (57kg) and Sachin Siwach (57kg) will also look to secure Olympic quotas.

India has secured four 2024 Olympic quota places so far with Nikhat Zareen (50kg), Preeti Pawar (54kg), Parveen Hooda (57kg) and Lovlina Borgohain (75kg) clinching their places at the Asian Games last year.

Amit Panghal returns to Indian squad for last boxing Olympic qualifiers

India has secured four 2024 Olympic quota places so far with Nikhat Zareen (50kg), Preeti Pawar (54kg), Parveen Hooda (57kg) and Lovlina Borgohain (75kg) clinching their places at the Asian Games last year.

World Championships silver medallist Amit Panghal has returned to the Indian squad, which saw wholesale changes for the final Olympic qualifying event, set to to be held in Bangkok from May 25 to June 2.
After Indian boxers' horrid run at the Olympic qualifiers in Italy last month, when not even one boxer could secure a quota, as many as five pugilists have lost their spot in the team for the second World Qualification Tournament.
The dismal show also led India's High-Performance Director Bernard Dunne to step down from his post.
In the latest assessment, 2023 World Championships bronze medallist duo of Deepak Bhoria (51kg) and Mohammad Hussamudin (57kg), the six-time Asian Championships medallist Shiva Thapa (63.5kg), reigning national champion Lakshya Chahar (80kg) and 2022 Commonwealth games bronze medallist Jaisimine Lamboria (60kg) have lost their spot in the Indian team.
The country's lone men's world championships silver medallist (2019) Panghal, who won gold at the 2022 Commonwealth Games and the 2024 Strandja Memorial tournament, will get his first and final chance to seal his passage to his second Olympic Games, having competed in the Tokyo edition.
He had lost out to Bhoria repeatedly in the assessment, hence missing out on the two qualifying events for the Paris Olympics -- the Asian Games and the first World Olympic Qualifiers.
Another Strandja gold medallist and national champion Sachin Siwach (57kg) has also returned to the squad, replacing two-time CWG medallist Hussamudin. Sachin had also competed at the Asian Games last year.
Himachal Pradesh's Abhinash Jamwal, who has dropped down from 67kg, scored more than the seasoned Shiva to earn a chance to compete in the light welterweight (63.5kg) category, while Abhimanyu Loura replaced Lakshya in 80kg.
Worlds bronze medallist Nishan Dev (71Kg), the lone boxer to go beyond his opening round in Italy, Sanjeet (92kg), and Hangzhou Asian Games bronze medallist Narender Berwal (+92kg) have retained their spots.
No male boxers from India has won a quota till now.
In the women's category, Ankushita Boro, who failed to win a quota in the 66kg weight class in Itay has dropped to the 60kg category. She replaces Jaismine, whose performance has been disappointing at the international level.
Reigning national champion and two-time world junior medallist Arundhati Choudhary emerged as the top performer in the 66kg weight class.
India has secured four 2024 Olympic quota places so far with Nikhat Zareen (50kg), Preeti Pawar (54kg), Parveen Hooda (57kg) and Lovlina Borgohain (75kg) clinching their places at the Asian Games last year.
India had nine boxers competing in the Tokyo Olympics.
Squad: Men: Amit Panghal (51kg), Sachin Siwach Jr. (57kg), Abhinash Jamwal (63.5kg), Nishant Dev (71kg), Abhimanyu Loura (80kg), Sanjeet (92kg), Narender Berwal (+92kg) Women: Ankushita Boro (60kg), Arundhati Choudhary (66kg).

After Nitu Ganghas, Amit Panghal made it 2 gold medals for India in boxing with his sensational victory over home favourite Kiaran Macdonald.
The 26-year-old who hails from Rohtak in Haryana bagged the Gold with yet another 5-0 score, highlighting his sheer domination in the final.
Macdonald was unable to cope with Panghal&rsquo;s fiery punches in the first couple of round, and while the Englishman did better in the final round, the Indian pugilist&rsquo;s superiority gave him no chance of a comeback.
It was a dream come true for the experienced Panghal, who had to settle for Silver in the last edition at Gold Coast. Well, not anymore!

Commonwealth Games 2022: Boxer Amit Panghal eyeing improved show in Birmingham

Commonwealth Games 2022: Amit Panghal will be aiming for a change in the colour of his medal from the previous edition. The pugilist won silver in the 49-kg category at the 2018 Gold Coast games.

Commonwealth Games 2022 : Like the 2018 edition, boxer Amit Panghal will once again look to secure a medal for India at the 2022 Commonwealth Games in Birmingham.
Panghal though will be aiming for a change in the colour of his medal from the previous edition. The pugilist won silver in the 49-kg category at the 2018 Gold Coast games. The 26-year-old will be competing in the 51-kg category this time.
He will also look to shed the horrors of Tokyo Olympics behind, where the then world number 1 was knocked out in the pre-quarters. His poor show at the Olympics wasn&rsquo;t well received by the Boxing Federation of India(BFI) back then.
In fact, BFI Chief Ajay Singh had even stated that they didn't see him as their star player after his poor show. Panghal will definitely have a point to prove when he enters the ring in Birmingham.

But Panghal seems to be in a good frame of mind ahead of the quadrennial event. He won Silver at Thailand Open at the start of the year. He also booked his place at CWG 2022 having secured a top spot at the trials.
All of India will be rooting for him to bring home the ultimate glory when the action unfolds in a few days' time.
