The light heavyweight boxer produced a superb show against her Chinese opponent and was declared winner by points as India won both the finals scheduled for the day.

Saweety started the opening round on a cautious note. She maintained the stance until the first minute before launching a barrage of punches on her opponent, also connecting one right at her cheeks. She maintained the approach throughout the round as won it 3-2. The Indian started Round 2 on a similar note, waited for an opening before trying to strike Wang Lina. In the process, the Indian also received a straight jab but the results remained in Saweety's favour, who won the round 3-2.

Wang Lina showed some retaliation in the final round, but the Indian maintained her ante, saving the energy for the final minute throttle, which she did successfully.

Saweety had settled for a silver nine years ago, when she defeated some big names to reach the finals of World Championship. The 30-year-old this time left no stone unturned against the 2018 World Champion Wang Lina.
