The former flyweight lost to China’s Chang Yuan at the Jakarta Asian Games in 2018.
North Korea’s Pang Chol-mi celebrates after defeating China’s Chang Yuan to win the women’s bantamweight gold medal.
In a scrappy rematch at the Hangzhou Gymnasium, it was Pang who did the better work to get a deserved result, even though the judges were split 3-2. However, the women’s middleweight final went according to plan for the vociferous home support as Li Qian took a comfortable unanimous points decision over the gutsy Indian Lovlina Borgohain.It is not just medals at stake in boxing in Hangzhou, but also Olympic qualification for Paris next year.
The Uzbek entered the ring to chants of “Hasanboy, Hasanboy” and made an immediate statement of intent by landing a big straight left flush on the chin of the Japanese. But the flyweight world champion will have to do it the hard way – tomorrow’s final will be his third fight in two days.“It’s hard. I’m tired and aching and my face has bruises, with no time to recover,” he told AFP.
