Former world number one boxer Amit Panghal faced a crushing defeat in the Paris Olympics, losing 1-4 against Zambia's Patrick Chinyemba in the 51kg pre-quarterfinal bout.

Despite receiving an opening round bye, Panghal, the 2019 world championship silver medallist, couldn't handle the aggressive style of the reigning African Games champion from the very start.

Panghal's defensive strategy backfired as Chinyemba dominated the first three minutes, leaving the Indian trailing on three cards. While Panghal tried to switch to an offensive mode in the subsequent rounds, he failed to land effective punches and ultimately couldn't sway the judges in the final exchanges.
