The Hindu  

A 10-member contingent will lead India's medal hopes at the Women's World Boxing Championships in the Russian City of Ulan Ude, starting Thursday. Six-time World champion Mary Kom, the gold medallist in 48kg, has jumped to 51kg and has got into the groove to chase her Olympic dream. The strong Saweety Boora, a former Worlds silver medallist who defeated Pooja Rani — the 81kg Asian title holder who reduced weight to prepare for the Olympics — in the 75kg trials, will also attract some attention. India, as a host, had an impressive outing last year when it had secured one gold, one silver and two bronze medals in Delhi.
