The Services Sports Control Board (SSCB) underlined its dominance by finishing atop the medals table with a staggering 12 gold, including nine in the men’s section, reaffirming its depth and strength across weight categories. Hussamuddin, who had been sidelined for several months following injury setbacks, produced a gritty performance to edge out fellow Services boxer and defending 60kg champion Sachin Siwach in a closely-fought final.

Key Highlights

  • The bout ended in a narrow 3-2 split verdict after Hussamuddin overturned an early deficit with superior shot selection and ring control.
  • The 31-year-old started cautiously, allowing the younger Sachin to dictate terms in the opening round, but gradually asserted himself by landing cleaner combinations and counter-punches.
  • Confusion briefly followed at the end of the bout when the result was initially announced in Sachin’s favour before being corrected moments later.
  • “This title was very important for me as this year has a lot of tournaments coming up.
  • After the injury, I needed to prove to myself and to others that I can still do it,” an emotional Hussamuddin said after the win.
