The star Indian boxer Lovlina Borgohain kicked off her Paris Olympics 2024 campaign with an easy round of 16 win over Hofstad Sunniva in the women’s 75kg category on Wednesday, July 31.
The 26-year-old boxer was given a direct pre-quarter-final entry in the 33rd Paris Games. She was excellent with her punches throughout her bout against Norway’s opponent to register an easy 5-0 win. Notably, Lovlina previously defeated Sunniva in the 2023 World Championships semi-final but the Norwegian defeated the Indian boxer in the Asiad and Czechia Grand Prix.
