Alfiya March Into Finals of Asian Elite Boxing Championships

Olympics bronze medallist Lovlina Borgohain and Elorda Cup champion Alfiya Pathan produced power-packed performances to enter their respective finals at the ASBC Asian Elite Boxing Championships in Amman, Jordan on Wednesday. Up against Seong Suyeon of South Korea in her semifinal bout, Lovlina (75kg) effectively utilized her clever techniques and strategies to clinch a 5-0 victory by unanimous decision. Lovlina, who has two Asian Championships bronze medals, is now guaranteed silver in this edition, confirming her best-ever performance in the competition.

Alfiya (81+kg) was also commanding in her semifinal win as she cruised past the 2016 world champion Lazzat Kungeibayeva of Kazakhstan in a 5-0 win. This is the second time this year that Alfiya has defeated Lazzat, having stunned the Kazakh on her own turf in the Elorda Cup, in what was her senior international debut competition.

Lovlina will take on the 2021 Asian Championships silver medalist Ruzmetova Sokhiba, while Alfiya faces Islam Husaili of Jordan in the final.

In the other semifinal, Ankushita Boro (66kg) lost 1-4 to Khamidova Navbakhor of Uzbekistan to secure a bronze medal.
