Bangladesh Ansar’s first title was achieved by Antara Aktar Rain at the bantamweight (54kg) where she had the better punches than Seema in the final.

The South Asian Games bronze medallist Shamima Akhter is the second most experienced boxer in the international stage of boxing behind to Zinnat Ferdous and she claimed the title of the featherweight (57kg) after beating Rain Khatun from the Bangladesh Army.
