This is Ankush's second international tournament since making the transition from youth to elite level late last year.
Meanwhile, Commonwealth Games silver-medallist L Devendro Singh, who defeated Mongolia's Gandulam Mungun-Erdene in a unanimous verdict, took on Indonesia's Aldoms Suguro in the finals of the 60 kg weight category.
Devendro
exhausted Suguro with outstanding tempo-boxing and kept the pressure on.
Suguro maintained his shell guard but Devendro managed to connect fine body blows. Despite the classy performance and overall dominance, judges ruled 3-2 in Suguro's favour and Devendro had to settle for a silver.
