Indian boxer Sakshi Choudhary (54kg) has misplaced her ultimate spot within the Asian Championships after her rival, top-seeded Kazakh Dina Zholaman, efficiently challenged the slim victory that the two-time youth world champion had clinched within the last-four stage. Sakshi had prevailed 3-2 within the regulation bout however the determination was challenged by the Kazakh workforce and finally overturned.
“Kazakhstan’s Dina Zholaman defeated India’s Sakshi Choudhary on the ladies’s bantamweight (54kg),” the Asian Boxing Confederation announced. Zholaman was the declared winner in the official result sheet that came out at the end of the day’s proceedings late on Thursday night.
“The Kazakh team sought a review of the third round, which it felt should have been scored in favour of their boxer. On review, the jury found their contention to be correct and overturned the original verdict,” a supply within the Indian contingent advised PTI. The bout assessment system was launched by the International Boxing Association (AIBA) in 2019. The workforce supervisor or the pinnacle coach of the dropping boxer will get quarter-hour after the choice is introduced to submit their protest and full the paperwork for it within the subsequent half-hour.
Decisions with scores 5-0 or 4-1 aren’t reviewable underneath this method. Each workforce is allowed as much as two failed critiques. “If the Technical Delegate determines, after consulting the Bout Review Jury, that the protest needs to be allowed to proceed, the bout can be reviewed by the Jury the Observer, the Referee Evaluator and the Judge Evaluator,” the AIBA had said.
In case of a protest claiming that an AIBA technical rule was violated by the referee, the aggrieved team has to specify the breach, the round in which it allegedly took place, and how it affected the final result. The jury’s decision must be unanimous and will be final.
With this, Indian women boxers’ presence in the finals has been reduced to four. Six-time world champion M C Mary Kom (51kg), Lalbuatsaihi (64kg), Pooja Rani (75kg) and Anupama (+81kg) entered the finals after winning their bouts on Thursday. Of these, Pooja got a walkover after her opponent pulled out.
