\nPresident's Cup international amateur boxing tournament on
\nSaturday after beating Che Andli Che Hashim of Malaysia.<\/p>\n

\nwith a combination of hard straight punches, hooks and tight
\ndouble covers.<\/p>\n

\ncontest in the fourth round.<\/p>\n
\"I'm very happy with today's result. I hope I can get further
\nin the tournament as I aim to win another title this year,\" said

\nand plans to start a new career as a coach.<\/p>\n

\nnext round after convincingly beating Na Risu of China 24-16 in
\nthe light heavyweight division.<\/p>\n

\npunches and aggressively sent counter attacks to the Chinese
\nboxer.<\/p>\n

\nalso had a comfortable 10-6 point victory over Yan Lin Aung of
