Ulan-Ude [Russia], Oct 8 (ANI): Indian boxer Saweety Boora was knocked out of the ongoing AIBA Women's World Championships after she suffered a defeat in her pre-quarterfinal bout against Louise Price here on Tuesday.
In the 75kg category, Boora gave a tough competition to Price but the latter prevailed with a split verdict of 3-1.
