Tashkent: Indian boxer Mohammad Hussamuddin signed off with a bronze medal at the World Championships after a knee injury forced him to withdraw from his semifinal bout here Friday.
The 29-year-old from Nizamabad sustained a knee injury in his quarterfinal bout against J. Diaz Ibanez of Bulgaria.
“Hussamuddin gives a walkover due to injury and settles for bronze. He sustained a knee injury during his QF bout and was advised to not compete further,” the boxing federation of India said in a statement.
Hussamudin, who was competing in his debut World Championships, was scheduled to face Cuba’s Saidel Horta in the last four clash.
