Liverpool, Sep 13

Nupur and Jasmine entered the finals of World Boxing Championships 2025 in Liverpool on Friday. Jaismine (57kg) won 5:0 against Venezuela’s Omailyn Carolina Alcala Segovia to become the first Indian to reach the final as Nupur (80+kg) defeated Turkey’s Duztas Seyma 5:0 to book her spot in the last round.

Nupur and Duztas had also faced-off in the semi-finals of the World Boxing Cup Astana with the Indian winning that bout 5:0.

Earlier, World Boxing Cup Astana silver medallist Minakshi once again came up with a clinical performance to defeat youngster Alice Pumphrey of England in the women’s 48kg quarterfinals.

The 24-year-old from Rohtak in Haryana used her long reach to dominated Pumphrey from the very first round and deserved the 5:0 verdict as she joined the likes of Nupur (women’s 80+kg), Jaismine Lamboria (women’s 57kg) and Pooja Rani (women’s 80kg) in the semi-finals of the prestigious tournament, thereby ensuring a podium finish.

India has fielded a 20-member contingent at the inaugural World Championships being held under the aegis of the World Boxing – a recently formed international governing body for boxing.

In the men’s 50kg category, Jadumani Singh Mandengbam needed to beat former world champion and two-time Asian champion Sanzhar Tashkenbay of Kazakhstan in the quarterfinals. The 21-year-old Indian, playing in his first world championships, took the fight to his much-experienced opponent but could not avoid a 0.4 loss.

Nupur dominating her Turkish opponent again! She's becoming a real force in the heavyweight division. Our women boxers are truly world-class now.

Heartbreak for Jadumani though. Facing a former world champion in his first championship is tough, but he showed courage. He'll learn from this experience.

While the women are shining, we need to develop our men's boxing program more systematically. Too many close losses against experienced opponents.
