New Delhi: Lovlina Borgohain added fourth gold to India’s tally at the IBA Women’s World Boxing Championship in New Delhi on Sunday.
The Tokyo Olympic bronze medallist produced a strong show in the 70-75kg finals, where she defeated Australia’s Caitlin Anne Parker with 5-2 split decision win after a review.
This is Lovlina’s first gold at the competition after settling for bronze in 2018 and 2019 edition.
After winning the bronze medal in Tokyo, Lovlina didn’t have the best in 2022, where she failed to make a mark both at the World Championships and Commonwealth Games. However, she produced a strong show at the nationals and also bagged a gold medal at the Asian Boxing Championship in November last year.
