Parveen won the closely contested final against Nien-chin Che of Chinese Taipei on Friday, coming after Olympic bronze medallist Lovlina Borgohain had earlier secured gold in the women's 75kg event.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Rohtak born boxer began well by winning the first round 5-0, but Che responded in the second round and also won that round 5-0. In the final round Parveen kept her composure and won the round 3-2, thus securing the gold medal.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n\r\n
This achievement represents a major milestone for Parveen, who had earlier secured a gold medal at the 2025 World Cup, obtained a bronze at the 2022 World Championships and had won gold at the 2022 Asian Championships.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Parveen is now the third Indian woman to win a gold medal at the Asian Games; legendary MC Mary Kom had won the women's 51kg event at the 2014 Asian Games in Incheon, Lovlina having added her second gold earlier on Friday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Lovlina, who reached her 29th birthday on Friday, secured India's first women's boxing gold in 12 years in the 75kg final by beating China's Ziyi Bao 5-0.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The woman who won a bronze medal at the Tokyo Olympics managed to improve on the silver medal she had earned at the last edition by giving a dominant performance against Bao, and as a result secured herself a perfect birthday present.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Lovlina is also only the second Indian woman since Mary Kom to have won a boxing gold medal at the Asian Games and an Olympic medal.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Mary Kom won the flyweight (51kg) title at the Asian Games in Incheon in 2014 and also secured a bronze medal at the Olympic Games in London in 2012.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Lovlina is also only the second Indian woman since Mary Kom to have won a boxing gold medal at the Asian Games and an Olympic medal.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n\r\n
