Olympic bronze medallist Lovlina Borgohain assured herself of a medal in her maiden outing in the 75kg category with a split decision (3-2) win against Valentina Khalzova at the Asian Boxing Championships in Amman, Jordan.

Lovlina needed just one win in the five boxer field to assure herself of at least a bronze and the 25-year-old toiled hard to eke that out against Kazakhstan's Khalzova in the quarter-final late on Saturday night.
