Living up to their favourites tag, Tokyo Olympics bronze medallists Lovlina Borgohain and the reigning world champion Nikhat Zareen registered contrasting victories to clinch the titles while Railway Sports Promotion Board (RSPB) lifted the team trophy with ten medals at the 6th Elite Women's National Boxing Championships on Monday.

While the Assam boxer Borgohain beat Arundhati Choudhary of Services Sports Control Board (SSCB) quite comfortably by 5-0 margin in the 75kg final, Zareen faced a stiff challenge from RSPB's Anamika in the 50kg gold medal match before the 26-year-old Telangana pugilist tilted the match 4-1 in her favour to successfully defend her title.

Another highlight of the day was Manju Rani, who led the domination of RSPB on the final day.

The 2019 World Championships silver medallist handed RSPB its first gold after outpunching Tamil Nadu's S Kalaivani 5-0 in the 48kg final.

Shiksha (54kg), Poonam (60kg), Shashi Chopra (63kg) and Nupur (+81kg) were the other gold medallists for RSPB, who also bagged three silver and two bronze medals.
