Liverpool, Sep 13 (NationPress) Nupur and Jasmine have advanced to the finals of the World Boxing Championships 2025 taking place in Liverpool this Friday. Jaismine (57kg) delivered a remarkable performance, defeating Venezuela’s Omailyn Carolina Alcala Segovia with a score of 5:0, making her the first Indian to reach the final. Meanwhile, Nupur (80+kg) triumphed over Turkey’s Duztas Seyma with a similar scoreline of 5:0, securing her place in the ultimate round.
Previously, Nupur and Duztas had clashed in the semi-finals of the World Boxing Cup Astana, where the Indian emerged victorious with a 5:0 win.
Earlier in the tournament, Minakshi, a silver medallist from the World Boxing Cup Astana, showcased her skills by defeating the young boxer Alice Pumphrey from England in the women’s 48kg quarterfinals.
At 24 years old and hailing from Rohtak in Haryana, she utilized her long reach to control the fight from the opening round, rightfully earning the 5:0 decision. This victory places her alongside Nupur (women’s 80+kg), Jaismine Lamboria (women’s 57kg), and Pooja Rani (women’s 80kg) in the semi-finals of this esteemed competition, guaranteeing a podium finish for India.
The Indian contingent, comprising 20 members, is participating in the inaugural World Championships conducted under the guidance of The World Boxing – a newly established international boxing governing body.
In the men’s 50kg division, Jadumani Singh Mandengbam faced a tough challenge against former world champion and two-time Asian champion Sanzhar Tashkenbay of Kazakhstan in the quarterfinals. Despite being a rookie in the world championships at just 21 years of age, he fought valiantly against his seasoned opponent but fell short with a 0.4 loss.
