In Boxing, Jamuna Boro today gave a flying start to India's campaign in the World Women's Championships by advancing to the pre-quarterfinals in 54-kilogram category with a facile win in Ulan-Ude, Russia.

Boro defeated Mongolia's Michidmaa Erdenedalai 5-0, recovering from a slow start for a resounding victory.

The 22-year-old, employed with Assam Rifles, has a tough one next up as she will square off against Algeria's fifth-seeded Ouidad Sfouh in the pre-quarterfinals.

Former national champion Neeraj (57 kilogram) and Saweety Boora (75 kilogram), an ex-silver-winner at the event, will be in action for India tomorrow.

While Neeraj will face China's Qiao Jieru, Saweety will face Mongolia's Myagmarjargal Munkhbat in the opening round. The ongoing edition features 224 boxers from 57 countries.
