Young Indian boxer Krisha Verma won the gold medal in the women’s 75kg category while five others signed off with silver medals at the inaugural U-19 World Championships organised by World Boxing in Colorado, USA.

Krisha notched up a unanimous 5-0 decision over Germany’s Simon Lerika in the 75kg summit clash. Chanchal Chaudhary (women’s 48kg), Anjali Kumari Singh (women’s 57kg), Vini (women’s 60kg), Akanksha Phalaswal (women’s 70kg) and Rahul Kundu (men’s 75kg) lost their respective finals. Five female boxers and a male boxer will fight for gold in the final on Saturday.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
