KARACHI: Pakistan’s female boxers Malaika Zahid and Maria also faced first round exit in the ABSC Asian Youth and Junior Men’s and Women’s Boxing Championships in Amman, Jordan.

According to the team manager Syed Kamal Khan, Malaika lost her 52 kg fight against Chupradit Kamonchanok of Thailand 2-3 while Maria went 0-5 down to Gulnaz Buribayev of Kazakhstan in the 48kg first round fight.

Now Hadia Kamal Khan will face Uldana Taubay of Kazakhstan in the 60 kilogramme semi-finals on Tuesday (today). There are only four entries in this weight, therefore Hadia's bronze medal is confirmed irrespective of the outcome.
