Indian star M C Mary Kom (51kg) will take on Sweden’s Juliana Soderstrom in her opening bout of a highly competitive World Women’s Boxing Championship in Astana, Kazakhstan where only three of her compatriots were given seedings. The event -the final qualifying for women boxers in the three Olympic categories of 51kg, 60kg, and 75kg -has 12 Rio tickets on offer which means pugilists will have to at least make the semifinals of the three chosen divisions to book their berth. The other Indians looking for Olympics spots are L Sarita Devi (60kg) and Pooja Rani (75kg).
