Mary Kom reserved India’s first medal at the ongoing Boxing World Championship after defeating her Chinese opponent Wu Yu in a unanimous verdict in a Quarterfinal match of the 48 kg category. She already has five gold medals and a silver to her name at the Boxing World Championship.
On the other hand, young Manisha Maun lost her quarterfinal match to Stoyka Petrova in a split verdict in the 54 kg category. Petrova is the top seed in the 54 kg category at the World Championship. Maun had a very good Championship where she defeated a couple of strong opponents in a former World Champion and a World Championship medallist before losing the Quarterfinal match.
The match involving Mary Kom and her Chinese opponent Wu Yu was a straightforward one where the former dominated throughout the match and did not allow Yu to get a hit at her easily. Thus Mary Kom managed an easy win by a unanimous verdict. Kom will face North Korea’s Hyang Mi Kim in the semi-finals.
