NEW DELHI: India's boxing campaign at the ongoing Paris Olympics concluded without a medal following Lovlina Borgohain's loss to China’s Li Qian in the women's 75kg quarterfinals. Borgohain, the reigning world champion, was defeated 1-4 in a contest marked by frequent clinching and holding, which led to repeated cautions for both boxers.
Lovlina Borgohain, a Tokyo bronze medallist, faced a tough challenge against Li Qian, who secured a silver at the Tokyo Games. The match began at a brisk pace with both fighters engaging early. However, neither seemed eager to launch the first attack, resulting in early and repeated clinching that forced the referee to separate them multiple times.
