On the other hand, Preeti Pawar also settled for a bronze medal after a hard-fought defeat against China's Yuan Chang in the 54kg category.
Reigning World Champion, Nikhat Zareen ended her campaign with a bronze medal. Zareen was defeated by Thailand's Chuthamat Rakshat by a 2:3 split decision in the semifinal of the women's 50kg category.
Star pugilist Lovlina Borgohain gave India a chance to win a gold medal in a boxing event as she marched into the final of the 75kg category by beating Thailand's Baison Maneekon 5-0 in the semifinal.
With the win, Lovlina has now become the 4th Indian boxer to win the Olympic quota for the Paris Olympics after Nikhat Zareen, Preeti and Parveen Hooda. (ANI)
