India’s Nitu (48kg) put up a dominant display in her debut appearance at the IBA Women’s World Boxing Championships as she outpunched Romanian veteran Steluta Duta to enter the Round of 16 in Istanbul today.

Nitu, a former two-time youth world champion, had won gold on debut at the Stradja Memorial earlier this year. The Haryana boxer dominated all three rounds against Duta to win her opening bout by a unanimous decision. Both the boxers were aggressive from the onset, but the 21-year-old Indian proved too much for the 40-year-old Romanian. Nitu used her height advantage against Duta, a three-time World Championships silver medallist.

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).
