    Paris Olympics: Boxer Preeti Registers Dominant Victory Over Kim Anh In Women's 54kg

    By IANS News July 28, 2024 • 01:20 AM View: 521
    Vo Thi Kim Anh: India’s Preeti Pawar stormed into the pre-quarterfinals of the Women’s 54kg category in boxing, with a comprehensive win in a first-round bout. The 20-year-old southpaw from Bhiwani in Haryana humbled Vietnam’s Vo Thi Kim Anh 5-0 in the Round of 32 at North Paris Arena. She will next be up against Colombian second seed Yeni Arias.

    Throughout Saturday's bout, Preeti didn't let her opponent settle down and find her rhythm. Initially, the Indian boxer faced some problems but then made a resounding comeback and went on to win the opener.

    At the age of 14, Preeti was introduced to boxing by her uncle Vinod, who was himself a national-level medallist boxer. Vinod convinced Preeti’s father, who works as an Assistant Sub-Inspector (ASI) in Haryana Police, to let her try her hands at boxing and started coaching her.
