Four years, ago, I was not able to qualify. I am still suffering from making the weight.

Advertising Amateur boxing warms up to video analysis
A restless spectator would be lucky to not trip over the tripods tucked away within the nosebleed seats at the indoor hall of the Indira Gandhi stadium. The number of cameras and binoculars trained at the two rings by performance analysts have left the venue of women world championships resembling the set of a Big Brother spinoff.
“Good that amateur boxing is learning how important this is,” says India men’s high-performance director Santiago Nieva. “It is still only a handful of countries, but it is about establishing a culture and treating it like an elite sport like football or even professional boxing.”
Unheralded Sonia Chahal stormed into the finals of Women’s World Boxing Championships by outclassing her North Korean opponent Jo Son Hwa but Simranjit Kaur had to settle for a bronze after losing the semifinal bout here Friday. The 21-year-old Sonia, who began competing at the senior level only since 2016, registered a unanimous 5-0 win over her more fancied North Korean opponent, a silver medallist in the Jakrata Asian Games, in the 57kg semifinals to reach the final in her debut World Championships.
The rookie boxer joins Mary Kom (48kg) in Saturday’s finals.
Mary Kom on the cusp of sixth gold medal
Last November, after winning her fifth Asian Championship gold and kickstarting the comeback tour, Mary Kom had singled out North Korea’s Kim Hyang-Mi as the “toughest opponent I faced in Vietnam.” Ahead of the 48kg World Championships semifinal, Mary reaffirmed that she was not taking Kim lightly. “(Kim’s) game can change from that last loss,” she said on Tuesday.
But the veteran still had to do a double take on Thursday, as for the briefest of moments, Kim Hyang-Mi was out-‘Mary Koming’ Mary Kom. Instead of rushing in with attacks as she was expected to do, Kim stayed back and waited to counter Mary. The boxers split the clean blows in what ended up being a tense opening round of a worlds semifinal. A Moroccan judge, in fact, gave the first round to the North Korean.
“Mary came back to the corner and went ‘she is playing counter with me!’ In Vietnam, she couldn’t land a single decent punch on Mary. Here, the first round was already a little testing,” says coach Chhote Lal Yadav. “Hum logo ka game catch kiya hai. Tabhi itna difficulty aa raha hai. But that’s the thing about her. She realised the opponent’s strategy in moments, and adapted accordingly.”
