Two silvers assured for India at Finnish youth boxing tourney

While Dheeraj overpowered Charlie Edwards of England in an enthralling contest, Prasad drubbed Welsh boxer Ashley Williams in another spirited performance.

The second round belonged to Edwards, who came back strongly with his two-phased attacks. But Dheeraj was not far behind and managed to maintain an overall two point lead with his sharp counter-attacks (12-10).

In the final round, he took the game away from Edwards with his superior power play and finally won the bout with a score of (19-14). MORE
