The hosts went down 4-1 to Russia's in-form Patriot Boxing Team at Guangxi University Stadium.

Dragons made the perfect start to the Group C contest as Zhonglin Wu defeated Dorzho Radnaev at light flyweight via unanimous decision.

It was downhill from there, however, as Radmir Abdurakhmanov got the verdict from all three judges against Song Gao at light welterweight.

The visitors went in front as Vasilii Vetkin was handed a 2-1 split decision win over bantamweight rival Boxiang Xu.

This put the Russian team one victory away and Rasul Aliev clinched a unanimous verdict against middleweight Haerheng Wulepaer to wrap up the best-of-five contest.

The 4-1 scoreline was completed as China did not field a heavyweight to face Rovshan Yagubzade.

The result is another big win for the Patriot Boxing Team who thrashed three-time and reigning WSB champions Astana Arlans Kazakhstan 5-0 in their last outing.

They top Group C with three wins from four contests while China will be looking to bounce back when they take to the ring for the second time this term.

Two more WSB clashes will also took place today in the Americas.

Both fixtures were in Group A with Caciques Venezuela losing 3-2 to Cuba Domadores on home soil at the Domo José María Vargas.

Colombia Heroicos won 3-2 in their home clash with Uzbek Tigers at Atlántico Plaza Principal de Soledad.

Venezuela will host Cuba again tomorrow and Indian Tigers will meet Astana Arlans in Group C.
