Three Indian pugilists Ankushita Boro, Shashi Chopra and Jyoti Gulia entered the quarterfinals of the AIBA Women’s Youth World Boxing Championships in Guwahati today.
Ankushita out-punched Turkey’s Cagla Aluc in an aggressive performance to fetch a unanimous verdict in her favour in the 64 kg category.
Jyoti, who opened the proceedings for India this afternoon, defeated Ukraine’s Anastasiia Lisinska to make the last-eight stage in 51kg.
Shashi, on the other hand, got the better of second seed Taiwan’s Lin Li Wei-Yi to be just one win away from ensuring a medal in 57 kg.
