Following the match, the Boxing Federation of India took to Twitter and informed, "@LovlinaBorgohai beats Anjali in a unanimous decision in 69kg category."

On the other hand, Six-time World champion MC Mary Kom will take on pugilist Nikhat Zareen in the final of the Olympic Boxing Trials. The Olympic qualifiers will be held in China in February next year.

Zareen, who had previously won a gold medal at Strandja Memorial tournament in Sofia, Bulgaria advanced to the 51 kg category after defeating Jyoti Gulia.

She had earlier courted controversy when she demanded a fair Olympic selection trial against the reigning champion Mary Kom.

In an earlier interview with The Sentinel, Nikhat, while she was in Guwahati, had said, “I believe in myself. I am ready to take Mary on the ring and will try my best to win the bout.”
