However, Jaismine won the second round by a unanimous verdict, having landed some hard blows on her opponent. “I am very happy. I had come with the aim of changing the colour of my medal and winning gold for India,” Jaismine, who won bronze in the 2022 CWG, said.

Earlier, Preeti made a commanding start to her gold-medal bout, winning the opening round unanimously with all five judges adjudicating 10-8 in the Indian’s favour.
