Indian Boxer Deepali Thapa Becomes First-Ever Asian Schoolgirl Champion
Indian boxer Deepali Thapa made history by becoming the first-ever Asian Schoolgirl Champion, leading India to secure seven female titles at the Asian Championships. In the 33kg weight category, Thapa defeated Kazakhstan's Anelya Ordabek in the semi-finals and went on to face Ukraine's Liudmyla Vasylchenko in the final. Thapa, who had both height and skill advantages, dominated the match to claim the historic gold medal- the first ever awarded in the ASBC Asian Schoolboys Boxing Championships to a female boxer. In the 35kg category, Kazakhstan's Assel Jalimbekova faced India's Bhoomi in the final. Bhoomi, who displayed excellent technical skills, steadily outperformed her opponent to secure India's second title.
