    Desk: At the Commonwealth Games Birmingham on Saturday, Indian boxer Mohammad
    Hussamuddin easily advanced to the pre-quarterfinals of the men's featherweight
    (57 kg) division.



     



    Young Amzolele Dyeyi of South Africa
    was defeated by Hassamuddin, a bronze medalist from the most recent CWG in
    2018, 5-0, in a unanimous decision.



     



    Hassamuddin defeated his opponent by
    using his quick hands and deft movement.



    The Indian stayed in shape from the
    beginning and prevented his opponent from taking the lead in any of the three
    rounds.



     



    While the South African made every effort to frighten the
    seasoned Indian, Hassamuddin was able to prevent any opportunities for his
    competitor.



     



    To advance to the quarterfinals, Hassamuddin must defeat
    Bangladeshi Md Salim Hossain in the following round.
