Lovlina Borgohain Facts

Inspired by her older twin sisters Licha and Lima, who had competed in kickboxing at the national level, Lovlina too had started her career as a kickboxer. She had later switched to boxing.

While she was in high school, The Sports Authority of India had held boxing trials at her institution where she was noticed by renowned boxing coach Padum Boro who took her under his wing and began training her, in 2012.

She first came into the spotlight in 2018 when she was selected to represent India in the welterweight boxing category at the 2018 Commonwealth Games held in Gold Coast, Australia. She was defeated by eventual champion Sandy Ryan in the quarter-final. There was a minor controversy when she was selected for this tournament based on the fact that she had not been given any official intimation about her selection and had found out about it via a major media outlet.

In March 2020, she had qualified for the 2020 Tokyo Summer Olympics, in the welterweight category, with a 5-0 win over Maftunakhon Melieva of Uzbekistan in the 2020 Asia & Oceania Boxing Olympic Qualification Tournament. This had made her the first woman ever from the Indian state of Assam to qualify for the Olympics.

In July 2021, when she had defeated former world champion Chen Nien-chin in the quarter-final of the welterweight division at the 2020 Summer Olympics, she had become just the 3rd Indian boxer to secure an Olympic medal after Vijender Singh (‘Bronze’ medal in 2008) and Mary Kom (‘Bronze’ medal in 2012). She lost her semi-final match and won the ‘Bronze’ medal.
