Jaismine Lamboria’s victory over Poland’s Julia Szeremeta (below) at the world championships ensured she became only the ninth world boxing champion from cricket-mad India.
INDIAN featherweight boxer Jaismine Lamboria clinched her maiden world title in Liverpool last month, a victory that has left the 24-year-old believing she can come out swinging in the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics after a disappointing performance in Paris.
Competing in the 57kg category after a switch from her preferred 60kg, Lamboria crashed out in the first round in the Paris Games last year but remained in the featherweight division.
