Indian boxer Karthik Satish won the WBC Asia Silver Lightweight Title last day at the Hell’s Bay Boxing Event from The Indian Art Revolution in Hyderabad. Karthik went up against Heru Purwanto of Indonesia in an eight-round battle and emerged victorious through a decision.

After a slow start, Karthik shifted gears in the later round which proved to be the game-changer in the fight. Hailing from Tamil Nadu, Karthik also kept his undefeated professional boxing record intact with the victory. He was 7-0 in his boxing career heading into the bout and with the win, he has now improved to 8-0 and is bound to make a huge leap in the WBC India rankings.

In the post-fight interview, Karthik noted that he and his team were able to execute the game plan perfectly, and changing pace in the later rounds was what they planned heading into the bout. He also thanked Heru for giving a good match.
