Sunday evening show: 4 Indian women in Asian boxing finals

Dubai - In the 2019 edition of the continental competition India won 13 medals

Indian women's team is looking ahead for more glory as four boxers, including six-time world champion Mary Kom, are ready for the finals of the Asian Boxing Championship scheduled for Sunday.

In all, seven Indians are in the finals. Four of them -- six-time world champion MC Marykom (51kg), Pooja Rani (75kg), Anupama (+81kg), and Lalbuatsahi (64kg) -- will be seen in action on Sunday.

"The women's team has won six bronze medals in Dubai. But it is difficult to predict how many gold medals our team would win. Going by the performance in the semi-finals we are hopeful of good results on Sunday," a national level coach said.

So far, the India women's team has already won six bronze medals through Monika (48 kg), Sakshi Chaudhary (54 kg), Jasmine (57 kg), Simranjit Kaur (60 kg), Lovlina Borgohain (69 kg), and Saweety (81 kg).

India in the 2019 edition of the continental competition had won 13 medals, two of them being gold, four silver, and seven bronze.

On Sunday, Mary Kom, 38, would be aiming for her sixth continental title. In the 51kg final, she will face Kazakhstan's Nazym Kyzaibay who is nearly 11 years younger to her.

While Lalbuatsaihi will face Milana Safronova of Kazakhstan in the 64kg final, Pooja Rani will take on Uzbekistan's Mavluda Movlonova in the 75kg final.
