New Delhi: Producing power-packed performances, the 2022 Commonwealth Games bronze medallist Jaismine Lamboria and Shashi Chopra recorded impressive wins to progress to the next round of the Mahindra IBA Women’s World Boxing Championships at the Indira Gandhi Sports Complex in New Delhi on Friday.

Indian Boxer Shashi Copra (63kg) defeated Mwangi Teresiah of Kenya by 5-0 at the Mahindra IBA World Women Boxing Championships on Friday.

One of India’s most skilled young pugilists, Jaismine kicked off her campaign with a Referee Stopping the Contests (RSC) victory against Nyambega Beatrice Ambros of Tanzania in the 60kg Round of 32 bout. The 21-year-old boxer from Haryana started out on the front foot with her attacking intent and landed a flurry of punches to have her opponent on the ropes within just twelve seconds before she was declared the winner in the first round.

Following one of the quickest victories of the tournament, Jaismine will face Samadova Mijgona of Tajikistan in the next round.

Similar to Jaismine, Shashi also put up a dominating performance as she outpunched Mwangi Teresiah of Kenya 5-0 in the 63kg category. Being at her attacking best, the Indian proved to be too strong for her opponent as she utilized her deft jabs and stern defence to win the bout comfortably. She will take on the 2022 Asian Championships silver medallist Kito Mai of Japan in the Round of 16.

Meanwhile, in the 70kg category, Shruti Yadav went down fighting 0-5 against Zhou Pan of China.
