Indian boxer Lovlina Borgohain is assured of a silver medal at least after reaching the final of the Women's 75kg event in boxing.

Lovlina, the reigning World Champion, won by a unanimous 5-0 decision against Thailand's Baison Maneekon. She also became the first Indian boxer to reach the final at the ongoing Asian Games. Her final berth also booked her a place at the Paris Olympics next year.

While Lovlina had another terrific outing, boxer Preeti Pawar had to settle for bronze after going down to the defending Asian Games Champion, home favourite Yuan Chang in the women's 54kg category.
