World champion Lovlina Borgohain is ready to create history, 2-time Olympic medalist in front

India is also expecting star boxer Lovlina Borgohain to create history at the Paris Olympics. Lovlina Borgohain became the third Indian boxer to win an Olympic medal after Vijender Singh and Mary Kom by winning a bronze medal in Tokyo. Now she can become the first Indian boxer to have won two medals at the Olympics. She will participate in the 75 kg category at the Paris Olympics. After coming to the 75 kg category, Lovlina won the title of Asian Champion in 2022 and World Champion in 2023. Apart from this, she won a silver medal in the 2023 Asian Games. It is clear from her performances that she is fully prepared for the Paris Olympics.

But the second-time Olympic medalist, defending champion Chinese boxer Li Qian could prove to be the biggest challenge for Lovlina in the quarter-finals. For, the women's 75 kg hasLovlina seeded at eight, enhancing her chances of running into top seed Li Qian in the quarter-finals. The Paris Boxing Unit has prepared this seeding order to avoid pitting the top boxers against each other in the opening round. This will also make Lovlina the only Indian boxer in this draw to be seeded.

The two have matched quite a few times. In particular, the thought of avenging defeat to this Chinese boxer in the final of the 2023 Asian Games will be surmised in Lovlina's mind at the Paris Olympics. It was at the 2023 IBA Women's World Boxing Championship semis in Delhi that Lovlina registered a spectacular win, defeating Li Qian by 4-1. Maybe one of the finest wins for Lovlina so far. In this case, saying that the encounter with Lee in the quarterfinals will open the doorway for Lovlina to fulfill her dream of winning the second medal in the Olympics won't be wrong. If Lovlina overcame this challenge, then be certain about her medal.
