Away from the ring for more than nine months, fulfilling sponsorship commitments and attending innumerable felicitation events, Lovlina, by her own admission wasn't mentally strong and was unable to handle match pressure at the Worlds in Turkey. The lanky Assamese pugilist did manage to cross the first hurdle by beating her old nemesis, former world champion Nien-Chin Chen of the Chinese Taipei by a split decision verdict, before going down 1-4 to Cindy Ngamba of the Fair Chance Team in the next round, to bring the curtains down on her maiden campaign in the 70kg class.
