PUBLISHED:

There will be plenty of action for Indian athletes today at the Paris Olympics.

All eyes will be set on the Boxing event as Assam’s Lovlina Borgohain will begin her campaign today as she faces Sunniva Hofstad of Norway in the women’s 75kg round of 16. The match is scheduled at 3:34 PM.

Borgohain, a bronze medallist at the Tokyo Olympics in the welterweight category, became the third Indian boxer to claim a medal in boxing after Vijender Singh (2008 Olympics) and MC Mary Kom (2012 Olympics).

At the 2020 edition, Lovlina overpowered Germany’s Nadine Apetz in the round of 16 and clinched a medal when she defeated Chen Nien-Chin of Taiwan in the quarters.
