Two Indian women boxers advanced to the quarterfinals of the youth world championships with comprehensive wins here.

Sakshi defeated Hungary's Viktoria Matesz, while Jony got the better of New Zealand's Pelea Fruean.

However, Lalita went out of the tournament after being out-punched by Germany's Alina Popp.
