Boxing World C'ships Final Highlights: Nitu Ghanghas, Saweety Boora win Gold

Thank you for joining!

That's all we have from the first day of the 2023 Women's World Boxing Championships Final. India bag two gold medals, courtesy Nitu Ghanghas and Saweety Boora.

While the former won convincingly, the latter's bout was sent for a review. Saweety, however, prevailed 4:3 in the end to win a World Championships gold - 9 years after she had to settle for silver in 2014. A great story arc complete.

Do join in tomorrow as Nikhat Zareen looks to add to her World Championships tally even as Lovlina Borgohain steps out in search of her first Worlds gold.

SAWEETY WINNNSSS!

She let's out a roar does Saweety, and why should not she? SAWEETY BOORA IS THE WORLD CHAMPION BY SPLIT DECISION!

BOUT UNDER REVIEW

The bout has been sent into review straightaway. This means the decision will come by split decision. Observes have been called in to decide. This was very much expected. IT WAS A CLOSE BOUT!

For now, we wait....

Less than a minute remaining

Less than a minute remaining in this contest and Saweety Boora has done excellently so far. A gold medal looks very likely.

END OF ROUND 2

End of the second round and it has once again gone in favour of the Indian. Saweety has the lead now. She has a comfortable lead. Can she see the next three-minutes through?

Saweety on the attack

Saweety is not holding back, she is going all out. But the Chinese is doing well to defend. This is very close.
