New Delhi:
India boxer Suranjoy Singh dumped Nordine Oubaali 8-1 on Friday to win gold at President's Cup.
Suranjoy has created history by becoming the first Indian to win gold at the elite tournament.
His French counterpart had got a walkover in his semifinal bout.
On Thursday, asian champion Suranjoy continued his rampaging form to out-punch Mexico's Baulio Avila and storm into the final of the season-ending boxing tournament.
Earlier, the Indian, who is competing for the Asia One team, beat his rival from the Americas Two team 10-4 in a lopsided bout.
Suranjoy shunned aggression for caution in the opening round and preferred to counter-attack against an aggressive Avila, who is a pan-American Games bronze medallist. The strategy worked well as the Indian took a slender 2-0 lead in the first three minutes.
Last year, Vijender Singh managed Bronze for India.
