Ahaana Sharma (50kg) followed with a first-round Referee Stopped Contest (RSC) win against Ma Jong Hyang of Korea.

Beating China, Korea, and Uzbekistan in boxing - that's no small feat! Our youth are showing the world that India can compete with the best. Time to invest more in sports infrastructure across states.
