ASBC Heroes – India’s Mary Kom Academy boxer Babyrojisana Naorem Chanu who won almost all of her fights in the recent three years

India’s multiple international tournament winner Babyrojisana Naorem Chanu won the women’s flyweight (45kg) at the Ulaanbaatar 2019 ASBC Asian Youth Boxing Championships last November. The Indian talent is our ASBC Hero who lost only one fight in the recent three years and she is still in the youth level in 2018.

India’s new ASBC Hero Naorem Babyrojisana Chanu was born in Leikai, Manipur on February 6 in 2002. She began boxing at the age of 12 in 2014 with coach Mr. Kuber Singh at the Mary Kom Boxing Academy. She trains as many of the Indian talents 20-22 hours per week to develop herself and raise the level of the world class boxers.

Baby, which is her nickname, won the gold medal at the 2018 Nations Women’s Junior Cup in Sombor, Serbia which was her first competition out of India. She defeated another top talent, Latvia’s Nikolina Boke in the final of the light bantamweight (52kg) in Serbia on January 2018. Following that success, she earned the gold medal at the Indian School National Games, at the Junior Women’s Nations Cup and at the Indian Women’s Junior National Championships in 2018 making the year with unbeaten series.

Chanu, who came from a boxing family as her brother is also a boxer, began the next year as a youth boxer and opened her campaign at the Boxam Youth & Junior Tournament in Murcia, Spain. She defeated strong and experienced European opponents in the international event which was held on April 2019.

Impressive 24 boxers fought for the medals at the flyweight (51kg) in the 2019 Indian Women’s Youth National Championships in Rudrapur. Meenakshi eliminated Manipur’s Nations Women’s Junior Cup winner Babyrojisana Chanu in the semi-finals and she had another tough fight against Sandeep Kaur in the final. Meenakshi has done another surprise in the final winning that contest by split decision but in spite of her gold medal, Naorem Babyrojisana Chanu was selected to attend in Ulaanbaatar.

India’s small girl at the women’s flyweight (51kg), Naorem Babyrojisana Chanu eliminated South Korea’s Sun Eun Su in the quarter-finals of the Ulaanbaatar 2019 ASBC Asian Youth Boxing Championships. She has done a superb work in the semi-finals against China’s Zhao Xuan and advanced to the final winning her opening contests with outstanding performance.

The 17-year-old Indian boxer had to meet for the title of the event with Kazakhstan’s Anel Sakysh who dominated her semi-final over her Uzbek opponent, Saydiniso Mukhamadalieva. The Indian boxer, who reached wonderful junior results, was slightly better than her Kazakh opponent in the day of the finals and claimed her nation’s first gold medal in Ulaanbaatar.
