Asian boxing c’ship: Lovlina,
Parveen clinch gold medals
PRESS TRUST OF INDIA
AMMAN, NOVEMBER 11

LOVLINA BORGOHAIN looked at ease as she struck gold in her maiden

appearance in the middleweight division while three other Indian box-
ers were also crowned Asian champions in Amman, Jordan on Friday.

the yellow metal in their respective categories.
Minakshi, on the other hand, concluded her maiden Asian
Championships campaign by clinching a silver medal in the flyweight
division (52kg) as Indian women boxers signed off with a haul of seven
medals. Parveen continued to impress as she notched up a facile 5-0
victory over Japan's Kito Mai to grab the first gold for India in the ongo-
ing event, while Olympic bronze medallist Lovlina, competing in her
maiden tournament in the 75kg category, also cruised to a unanimous
decision win over Ruzmetova Sokhiba of Uzbekistan.
Saweety and Alifiya then added to the gold rush, defeating Gulsaya
Yerzhan of Kazakhstan and Islam Husaili of Jordan respectively.
While Saweety pummelled Yerzhan into submission, Alifiya's op-
ponent was disqualified bringing an end to the bout in the first round
itself. The title will be a big morale booster for the 25-year-old Lovlina
who has struggled to find form since her bronze-medal winning ex-
ploits at the Tokyo Olympics. She made early exits in the World
Championships and Commonwealth Games earlier this year.

started the proceedings on a tentative note, inviting the other to attack

jabs. The two danced around the ring trying to avoid each other's at-

so powerful that the referee was forced to give Sokhiba the count.
Despite it only being a five-boxer field, Lovlina has shown immense
improvement during the course of the three bouts she played in the
tournament. It is Lovlina's third Asian Championship medal, she had
won the bronze in 2017 and 2021 in the welterweight division.
Earlier,worldchampionshipsbronzemedallistParveen,whomissed
out on the Commonwealth Games, put up a dominant show to beat
fourth seeded Mai via unanimous decision. Both the boxers started on
theoffensive but thetop-seeded Parveen was able to dominate the pro-
ceedings as she jabbed her opponent at will.
Having lost the opening round, Mai tried to up the ante but Parveen
swiftly dodged all her attacks. The Indian was especially impressive
with her upper cuts in the third round. In the first Indian final of the day,
Minakshi toiled hard but lost the gold medal bout to Kinoshita Rinka of
Japan via 1-4 spilt verdict. Minakshi was slow to start, with the second
seed Japanese taking full advantage of the Indian's sluggishness as four
out of the five judges voted in her favour. In the second round as well,
Minakshi looked lost. She was unable to land clear punches and re-
sorted to clinching while the Japanese pugilist played more accurately
and defended well. It was effectively the second round that cost
