Northeast women shine at 4th Asian women Boxing Championship By Peter Alex Todd
Guwahati, Oct.14 (ANI): The recently held 4th Asian womens boxing championship witnessed a big cheer in the northeast, as of the three gold medals won by India , two were won by the women boxers belonging to this part of the country.
There were 79 women boxers from 11 Asian countries participating in the championship held at Guwahatis Sarusajai Sports Complex.
For Sarita Devi, one of the medalists, from Manipur it was a repeat of her performance of the World Boxing Championship held in the national capital Delhi a few years ago.
Twenty-six-year-old Sunita, who is a Manipur Police inspector with two Asian titles in the 54 kg weight group and one gold medal at the World championship in the 52 kg category, earned her third Asian gold with triumph.
The performance of northeast was good. Out of the five contestants, three have won while two other lost. Win or loss is a part of game, so one shouldn”t get too much disappointed of that. But definitely, the future of northeast women boxer is good,” said Sarita Devi.
