Boxing World Qualifiers: Ankushita Boro Wins Opening Round, Abhimanyu Loura's Campaign Ends
Jose Manuel Viafara Fory: Former world youth champion Ankushita Boro prevailed over Namuun Monkhor of Mongolia in the 60kg category while Abhimanyu Loura went down against Ireland’s Kelyn Cassidy in the second round of the 80kg weight category in the 2nd Boxing World Qualifiers for Paris Olympics in Bangkok, Thailand, on Monday.
Boro, the first Indian woman in action in what is the final chance for pugilists to book Paris Olympic berths, began strongly against her young Mongolian opponent. She effectively blunted Monkhor’s speedy movements by tactically shifting gears to carve out a 4-1 win after three keenly contested rounds.
However, it was not an outing to remember for Loura. The National Championships bronze medallist came into the second-round clash against two-time Irish champion Cassidy, high on confidence after beating Bulgaria’s 10-time national champion Kristiyan Nikolov in a thrilling encounter.
