The 21-year-old boxer from Haryana started out on the front foot with her attacking intent and landed a flurry of punches to have her opponent on the ropes within just twelve seconds before she was declared the winner in the first round.Jaismine will face Samadova Mijgona of Tajikistan in the next round.Similar to Jaismine, Shashi also put up a dominating performance as she outpunched Mwangi Teresiah of Kenya 5-0 in the 63kg category.

She will take on the 2022 Asian Championships silver medallist Kito Mai of Japan in the Round of 16.Meanwhile, in the 70kg category, Shruti Yadav went down fighting 0-5 against Zhou Pan of China.In what was a huge upset of the day, Wen Lu Yang of China vanquished the 2016 World Champion Alessia Mesiano of Italy, who also won bronze in 2014 and 2022 edition, with a monumental victory by unmous decision in the 60kg category. The Chinese pugilist, who recently won the silver medal at the 74th Strandja Memorial, showcased immense confidence and smart technique to overpower her opponent and advance to the Round of 16.On the other hand, the 2018 Asian Games champion Oh Yeonji (60kg) of South Korea and five-time World Championships medallist Elif Guneri (75kg) of Turkey recorded contrasting victories in their respective bouts. While the South Korean comfortably outclassed Esmeralda Falcon of Mexico with a 5:0 win, the Turkish pugilist had to grind hard to defeat Baison Mkon of Thailand by 5:2 after the bout was reviewed.Two Indian pugilists Nitu Ghanghas (48kg) and Manju Bamboriya (66kg) will begin their campaign on Saturday.
