India’s Manju Rani is one win away from laying her hands on a maiden medal at the World Women’s Boxing Championships after she advanced to the quarter-finals following a comprehensive victory in the last-16 stage at Ulan-Ude (Russia) on Monday.

Sixth-seeded Rani (48 kg) triumphed over Venezuela’s Rojas Tayonis Cedeno 5-0 and now needs just one more win to secure a medal in her debut at the big event.

However, the road ahead will be a challenge as Rani is up against last edition’s bronze-medallist and top seed Kim Hyang Mi of South Korea. The two will clash on October 10.
