However, the 21-year-old from Bhiwani, Nitu, who won the gold medal at the 2022 Strandja Boxing Tournament earlier in February, did manage to make an impression as the bout progressed.<\/p>\n<p>The last three minutes were also pretty close and saw fierce battle between the two, but this time the Indian stepped up brilliantly and looked in good control, moving around the ring effortlessly.<\/p>\n<p>The 2017 Youth World Champion Nitu will now face Spain\u2019s Lopez Del Arbol Marta in the Last-16 match on Saturday.

It was Lovlina\u2019s first international match after winning the bronze medal at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAfter learning so much at the Olympics, I had worked very hard on my game and today, I wanted to gauge my progress. It was a tough bout but with the support of everyone, I could do well. I will keep trying to do well in the coming matches and win gold for India,\u201d the 24-year-old boxer from Assam said after the win.<\/p>\n<p>This year\u2019s World Championships, which will be played till May 20, also marks the 20th anniversary of the event.<br \/>Indian boxers have won 36 medals, including nine gold, eight silver and 19 bronze, in the 11 previous editions of the tournament, which is the third highest after Russia (60) and China (50).
