India finished with 8 medals including one gold, five silvers and two bronze to finish their campaign on a high at the Makran Cup boxing tournament in Chabahar, Iran. In a relative disappointment for the country, 5 of the six boxers in the fray lost out in the finals of the Makran Cup. Three-time Youth Nationals winner and national champion Deepak Singh was the lone Indian boxer to notch up gold. Deepak defeated Jaafar Naseri in the light fly category summit clash. With a flurry of punches, the reigning senior national champion, Deepak looked on top of his game as he never allowed his opponent to settle in. Finishing second on the podium were P Lalitha Prasad (52kg), Commonwealth Games silver-medallist Manish Kaushik (60kg), Duryodhan Singh Negi (69kg), Sanjeet (91kg) and Commonwealth Games silver-medallist Satish Kumar (91kg).
