Jaismine Lamboria (57kg) and Minakshi Hooda (48kg) carved their place in Indian boxing history by clinching titles with hard-fought wins at the World Championships in Liverpool. Capping off a stupendous campaign that saw her dominate all her rivals, Jaismine outclassed Paris Olympics silver medallist Julia Szeremeta of Poland in the 57kg summit clash late on Saturday night, prevailing 4-1 on the judges’ scorecards (30-27 29-28 30-27 28-29 29-28). Minakshi followed suit a day later on Sunday, by out-punching Paris Olympics bronze medallist Kazakshtan’s Nazym Kyzaibay with the same margin in the 48kg summit clash.
