24-year-old Nishant Dev performed brilliantly in a six-round competition in which the three judges gave 60-54 marks in his favor. This was the second professional match of the Indian boxer in which he registered a dominated win. The match was played as a high profile match undercard (match with the main match) between Richardson Hichins and George Kambosos Junior. Nishant was unable to knockout but impressed with his best selection of the punches.

After the victory, Nishant said, I not just go for knockout but try to improve my skills. I have learned that I have to perform well in the ring and win the match. I am accustomed to play in the World Championship and Olympics compared to several rounds. This is the beginning of my professional career, so I am still learning. I want to reach the next level.
