Amuna Boro (54kg) gave a flying start to India's campaign in the World Women's Boxing Championship by advancing to the pre-quarterfinals with a facile win here on Friday. Boro defeated Mongolia's Michidmaa Erdenedalai by 5-0. The 22-year-old, employed with Assam Rifles, has a tough one next up as she will square off against Algeria's fifth-seeded Ouidad Sfouh in the pre-quarterfinals. Sfouh had won a gold in the 2017 World Championships and was given a first-round bye here. Boro, a debutante at the event, took her time to warm up but once she got going, the Assamese pugilist dominated Erdenedalai with her combination punches. Indian was unstoppable in the final three minutes of the bout and thoroughly out-punched Erdenedalai
