New Delhi, Oct. 27 -- Aditya was crowned the men's 55kg champion in 2026 World Boxing U-19 Championships in Budva, Montenegro, as India finished with a gold, one silver and two bronze medals.
Aditya, the Asian U-19 silver medallist, fought back after narrowly to losing the opening round to beat Islam Magomedov of Russia 4:1 in the summit clash on Tuesday.
"I was trailing 3-2 after the first round, but I stepped it up to take the next one 4-1. That's when the belief hit me that I could win this bout. I'm truly grateful to all the coaches and my teammates here at the World Championships in Montenegro-their support throughout the camp made all the difference," said Aditya in his first reaction after the victory.
