Nishant Dev on Friday secured the Paris 2024 Olympics quota with a 5-0 win in the men's 71kg quarterfinals of the ongoing Boxing World Qualifiers in Bangkok.

Indian boxer Nishant defeated Moldova's Cebotari in a unanimous 5-0 decision at the World Boxing Qualifiers on Friday to qualify for the 2024 Paris Olympic Games.

He will now be the fourth Indian pugilist to qualify for the Paris Olympics, following Nikhat Zareen (women's 50kg), Preeti (54kg), and Tokyo Olympics bronze medalist Lovlina Borgohain (75kg) who sealed their spots by winning bronze medals at the 2022 Asian Games. (ANI)
