Gold medallist at the inaugural Youth World Amateur Boxing Championships, Nanao Singh was looking to reclaim the title after missing out last year due to a hand injury. Like their champion boxer Samota, the Railways Sports Promotion Board was also gunning for their fifth consecutive title.
Nanao Singh also capped of a brilliant performance with another scintillating victory in the final round of the light fly weight division against Pankaj Saini of Punjab. The 2009 Asian Championship silver medallist never let the Saini come in shape.
Right from the start of the bout he kept the pressure on his opponent with his swift movement and effective left and right jabs. Nanao went on to reclaim the National Champion title with a score of 14:6. It was an emotional victory for the 20-year old from Manipur, who had to sit out most of last year with injury problems.
He expressed, "Last year was a difficult period for me with the hand injury, but this year I have done well on the domestic circuit and hope to carry on the form and make it big in the international arena".
