Previous edition’s silver-medallist Sarjubala Devi (48kg) and Seema Poonia (+81kg) moved to the quarterfinals as India rounded off a reasonably good day at the AIBA Women’s World Boxing Championships here today.
Sarjubala, a former junior world champion, gave a perfect start by pummelling Sri Lanka’s Erandi Kaluhath 3-0.She will face Kazakhstan’s Nazym Kyzaibay, who defeated Sweden’s Lise Sandebjer 3-0, in the quarters. Seema was equally dominant in her win over Azerbaijan’s Aynur Rzayeva and will take on China’s Shijin Wang in the last-16 stage.
However, the campaign of Pavitra (64kg) came to a halt after she went down to Australia's Skye Nicolson.
