Boxing: Suranjoy to take on 9th seeded Mongolian boxer

Suranjoy Singh take on ninth seeded Mongolian Nyambyar Tugstsogt in second round of 52 kg category at World Boxing Championships at Baku in Azerbaijan today. Singh notched up comprehensive victories beating Hungarian opponent Dobradi Zsolt on Tuesday. Yesterday, Olympic hero Vijender Singh was ousted in the very first round, upstaged by his Cuban nemesis Emilio Correa Bayeux, but Jai Bhagwan entered the second round on a mixed day for Indian boxers. Vijender, a bronze-medallist at the previous World Championships in Milan and the 2008 Beijing Olympics, lost 9-16 to Bayeux in the opening bout of the 75kg middleweight category. But Commonwealth Games bronze-medallist Jai Bhagwan thrashed Evaldas Petrauskas of Lithuania to enter the second round. Jai beat Petrauskas, a Youth Olympics gold-medallist, 15-8 to enter the second round where he will take on Czech Miroslav Serban.
